It's not really fine. A bad quality PSU puts everything at risk. If that PSU dies then it could take literally everything else with it.

Why a Xeon? i would prefer i5 because Xeon lose their money if i wanted to change it again. Sorry i have nothing against the performance just they lose money quick.

No, they don't. Intel chips stay around the same price. Sandy Bridge Xeon's still cost about the same as Haswell Xeon's. Xeon's don't reduce in cost anymore than an i5 and the Xeon has 4C/8T, as opposed to the i5's 4C/4T.

Okay what about a E5-1620 v2 will that be better?

if youre not looking to overclock then go for this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

if youre looking to overclock then upgrade cpu to a 4690k and downgrade the mobo to a:
ASRock Z97 Anniversary
or
MSI B85-G41 PC Mate
or if you really wanna save some money
MSI H81M-P33

Well just in my opinion they do, the i3 i currently have sells for around £50 3 years later. I paid £80.

No, because you'd need an X79 motherboard. I've already helped you. Ignore it if you wish.

It's not an opinion though. All Intel chips hold their price as well as the rest of them. Core i* CPUs don't hold their price any better than Xeon's do.

I am not fighting i just personally want an i5/i7 because they hold money better than a Xeon, sorry if it comes across as me fighting you lol.

X79 for what? i just want an 'i' series CPU sorry...

This literally happened with Pentium as well, if someone who didn't know about computers wanted a processor they would go for an i CPU. So i don't want be stuck with a Xeon...

I may be wrong but judging by the parts, you may be ona tight budget or just don't upgrade alot...

IF on a fairly tight budget I'd recommend:

-Intel Pentium K Anniversary edition G3258

AND the MSI Z97 motherboard

-This will keep you going if you need to save for the additional parts you will need to add that I'm going to mention and also use Sanctyy as a good reference as he's already said it:

The PSU: Change it, it's unmodular and quite low in the food chain as to what Corsair can offer power supply wise, 650 is enough power though.

The graphics: if you're on a budget I'd recommend the EVGA gtx 750 Ti, great little card with 2GB of VRAM, not too old in age I suppose and already superclocked!

Steps I would take after built:
Invest in a closed loop water cooler for the CPU and overclock it a little bit, taking advantage of the fact it is a K processor and from looking at videos they overclock nicely. Also your RAM would be a nice little upgrade later in time, not NEEDED though.
