Hey guys so in building a computer next month. And recently I came across Intel Xeon CPUs. Now I've actually never heard of or seen these processors before so I'm a little clueless. Are they good for gaming? And since I'm starting YouTube will it be good for editing and rendering? Will it help me during gameplay with more fps? Overall I just wanna know if it's good for gaming, editing, and rendering. Also my GPU is going to be the RX 480 when it comes out. Thanks in advance!!
This was the initial build I was going to go with. Along with the RX 480 of course.
