I know that all the big teckie people always says that don’t buy server processor for gaming purposes but I find these processor giving a huge performance for their price. The processor I’m talking about is Intel Xeon Processor E5450 .It is a Quad Core processor that is clocked at 3.0Ghz, has a bus speed of 1333Mhz FSB and the thermal design power is 80W.This Processor was originally made to work with the LGA 771 Type Socket but the processor which are available in the market are made to work with LGA 775 Socket. The LGA 775 Type Socket are commonly available in the market and are also inexpensive. The Price of this processor is around $20-25 and gives awesome performance in that price.
We’ll be pairing this processor with NVidia GTX 750ti because there won’t be any bottlenecking between the two components. Nvidia Gtx 750ti is also my favorite budget graphics card because it gives awesome performance in such a reasonable price.
