I've been putting Xeon E3-1230v2 CPUs in these. You get decent clock speed 8 thread system with 16GB RAM. It may be old but being Intel they game pretty well. They handle Linux Mint and Windows 10 both really well. Yeah, it's not a monster system but very responsive like a little sports car. I keep saying I'm going to stop building these and move entirely to RYZEN but AMD does not really beat one of these until you've spent a lot more money. This MSI board in particular is nice because it takes the newer 1155 CPUs which run a bit cooler and so easier to build with. The boards themselves are not particularly cheap but you make massive savings on the CPU and RAM. Go with Xeon and fit a cheap R5 340 GPU rather than i7 to get the best overall performance for your money. E3-1270v2 is the top CPU available on ebay and Ali.Read full review

It is now working fine, however, when it arrived, 2 pins on the CPU socket were bent and if it was not for the skill of the people at my local computer shop, using a high powered magnifying glass, it would have been useless. The problem was probably caused by the lack of a CPU socket plastic protector in a secondhand motherboard. However, after their adjusment and the installation of my i5 CPU and 8 Gb RAM, it is working well.

Gets the job done, relatively inexpensive and comes with its own cooler. If it came with HDMI and USB 3.0 it would be perfect, though you can't really find these at the £30 price point. Delivery came fast too.

Nice little mother board with Xeon support. Xeon CPUs are usually available for cheaper then their equivalent Core i5/7 counterpart.
