Intel's Xeon, i7, i5, and even i3 series are good for gaming. So is AMD's FX series. The i7 5820K is only a bit better than the Xeon E5-2620 V3. The i7 5820K has better single core and overall performance.

Well you can yes. But the i7 5820k will perform better in games than the xeon.

What is the intended use? If this is for gaming 6C/12T i7 is a huge waste of money. If you're also using heavy multi threaded applications on the side then it might be worth it. For gaming an i7-4790k would be a much better choice (still 4C/8T) or even the E3-1231 V3. Hell, even an i5-4690k won't bottleneck a single 980Ti and would be a good choice too.
