quad-core Haswell CPU sitting around surplus to requirements and that
they don't want the earth for? (A cooler for it would be a bonus too.)
I've got a bargain on a socket 1150 based PC that I was going to use
as a spare machine for light gaming for guests / backup. I have a GPU
that's adequate and I've added to the existing 4GB of RAM with an 8GB
stick out of my main machine but the dual-core Pentium that's in it
isn't up to the task. I tried it with Path of Exile but it's
CPU-bound and unplayable. (My main machine is running an i7 4790 and
runs it smooth as silk so something in between the two should be
fine.)
Then I'll just get a cheap 120 GB SSD for it and it'll be fit for
purpose.

Alas, all I have is a LGA 1155 i5 (real quad core) Xeon... :(
