It’s been a while since I made a build for myself, I figured I’d challenge myself with a 1440p capable system with a budget of $300 USD. Here’s what I have thus far:

Jginyue X99 Titanium D4 Chinese motherboard - $60
4x8gb 2400mhz ecc ddr4 ram (quad channel) - $30
Elsa RX 5700 XT GPU - $120
Rosewill Prism S500 case - $54
Xeon e5 2670-v3 - $7 (will turbo unlock)

Currently sourcing an NVME and capable PSU, wanting to also find a cheap 240mm aio with colorful lights.

Will be installing a modified bios for overclocking and swap CPU for 1660-v3 (maybe v4?) in the near future. Ram will get fancy flashy heatsinks.

Received a few parts today!



P.s. - I love Xeon builds.

This is really cool, GL on your build & hope to see more updates

Nearly finished, all that’s left is to sleeve my PSU, maybe easy route with extensions and aRGB my ram.

Random Apevia 800w gold PSU (good oem) - $50
Thermalright 240mm rgb cooler - $50
2tb nvme - $70
aRGB controller - $7

Went a little over my budget, nvme and cooler weren’t necessary

Initial boot for ram learning and play a bit with aRGB.
