Any help I can get with one? It MUST have windows 10 included. I prefer nvidia but if I need to go AMD that is fine too but for CPU I need intel.

Edit: I'm in the USA and its for Gaming and streaming. I am fine with AMD GPUs, the CPUs are just getting old and I don't feel like its best to go with AMD anymore, just my opinion.

Any don't you want AMD? In most cases it may be the better option.

Currently they're pretty solid for secondary rendering machines or streaming on the cheap, like if you went with an 8320e OC'd you potentially get an SSD or a higher end GPU, but that depends more on workload if that's worth it

Why a Xeon? I'm not gonna hardcore stream, just casually. And I need windows btw

Streetguru · December 26, 2015, 1:25am

It's basically just a locked i7, well I mean I guess you could buy windows, but windows 10 is seemingly a huge pain, should just buy it and then "find" vanilla windows 7

I second the build above assuming you're not overclocking, albeit with some minor changes - grab a lower wattage PSU and perhaps 8GB of RAM instead of 16 if need be to get a better case. Cable management in that case is non-existent.
