Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Just because a motherboard is for gaming doesnt mean the cpu is for gaming.My evga motherboard is made as a hi performance gaming motherboard, you could put a core 2 soo in it, and it wouldnt be for gaming at all.

And no one would using i7 for make movie like megamind, walle, open season, resident evil and etc. They using Xeon (sometime Dual Xeon) for powerful and fastest render movie. Xeon CPU is not just for server but it is for gaming, movie maker, internet, website, and etc.
 
Yes, not a gaming motheroard, a server motherboard.A single socket Asus rog 2011 board would be great paired up with a i7 6 core.Just because its an asus, doesnt mean its gaming.

No.Listen to us.A xeon is a great server chip, i think a good workstation chip (not sure) but not a gameing chip.A 6 core i7 would be much better and cheaper for most things.
 
The board is a work station board. Yes you can game on it and a xeon can be used. But for a gaming setup, its completly useless. No games use more then 4 cores, most not even that. Having a dual 6 core xeon CPU setup will not perform any better then a 2500/2600/2700. Just because you can game on it doesnt mean its a wise decision.
 
Yes, if all you did was render moviews and web browse a single xeon would be fine, unless you are some big buisness with super crazy movies and stuff, than you need a dual xeon.An i7 6 core alone would be great for movie rendering, gaming, and web browsing.
 
I wouldn't get a core 2, mine maxes out (it is a duo, but still) on a 2011 game, you are going to need better than a core 2 quad now.
You've obviously never used a Core 2 Quad have you? Like I said, you'd never consider using one for a new build as they are getting old, but boy they can still perform well. A Core 2 Quad is still more than adequate enough for gaming. You can pair a Q6600 with a GTX 560 Ti and you shouldn't get a CPU bottleneck - that just goes to show how epic the C2Qs are/were. :)

Voyagerfan, that's a nice cooler, getting good temperatures as well!

Jamebonds1, is that PC being donated to you or are you buying it? The Tesla cards are intended for workstation use as said above so they're not really ideal for gaming, but for rendering and doing 3D modelling and such like, the two Xeons and the Tesla card(s) would work great. People do render videos on i5s and i7s, myself being one of these people (using a 2500K). True, people like Universal and Warner Bro's do not use i7s but for home use, an i5 or an i7 for video editing is pretty much all you need. My 2500K eats through HD video!
 
Well, a newer game would have at least %50 load on all cores, and games that dont use quads should be using 85% load on 2 cores.My lower end core 2 duo goes to a solid %100 on tdu2, and its a consle port, i can only imagine crysis2.
 
Your Core 2 Duo is an E4300, it was a very low-end chip and was clocked at 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz (I forget now), but an overclocked Q6600 or Q9300 should still play the games pretty well. The E4300 was never meant to be a gaming CPU, but the Q6600 and Q9300 chips were, even the E8400 and E8500 (which were Core 2 Duos) should still perform pretty good in the games.
 
Core 2 Duo isn't made to be fastest as i3 CPU. I remember single core CPU beat old dual core CPU, but now new dual core CPU have improve and is fastest than single core CPU.

I was lucky i didn't go for cheapest CPU like Intel Pentium because it wasn't meant to be used for video game. i3 is okay for video game but better than Core 2 Duo.
 
The i3, at least the 2100 and 2120, are pretty good for gaming actually, considering the price!

Are you going to post some pictures of your Xeon rig Jamebonds?

Huh? I don't say i owned Xeon rig. I was just talk about newest ASUS Dual LGA 2011 with 4 way SLI support. Why you say to post some picture of my Xeon rig when i didn't ever owned Xeon before?

because you said you are getting one, hes asking if you will post pictures of it when you have it.

Crysis 2 isnt really cpu dependant like c1 was. In fact its fairly easy to run with a decent gpu.
