Generally, the higher the model number of a processor, the more powerful. The most important digit in the model number is second one. Therefore the 3680 would be the most powerful. Secondly, on most games the GPU power is the hardware spec most relevant, then the CPU, then the RAM, in that order.

The spec listed is several gens old now, so it's a guess as to whether it will play the games you have or want to buy unless you tell us what the titles are. The GTX 670 came out about 8 years ago, and as a rule of thumb, you can generally play titles that come out within a couple years after a GPU model releases with decent settings, IF the second digit is above average in that model line.

There are of course always exceptions to rules of...

There are of course always exceptions to rules of thumb though, which is why details on what's being played matters. The Xeon is considered high end server grade, so it should be OK, but if these parts are used, I would worry about the 670. especially if you plan on doing a fair amount of intense gaming.

You may very well need to use an older graphics driver for the 670, but it WILL support ShadowPlay.
