Hello all

Been buying at parts and already have some in this list. Ive checked for compatability issues and such before buying but just posting here so that you all can look.

Is there anything incompatible with this set up or is it looking fine? Gonna be for my graphic design and illustrator work foremost with gaming second. Mostly a skyrim/fallout player. Cheers!

Is that Xeon definitely socket 1150 because a quick search only found a socket 1155 version. Why the Xeon anyway? Would it be that much better than an equivalently priced i series?
 
Xeon 1230v3 is for socket 1150 and is essentially a 4770k clocked slightly lower, no igp but does have turbo boost. It's a great CPU for top end gaming.
