I have read about the Xeon on alot of forums, People seem to love it, good clock speed plus those 8 threads seem to really help background processes too, What GPU do you have? Do you think the R9 390 would be good?

The 390 will be great. I was running a 660, but it just failed and I'm in the process of returning it on warranty (that's the reason I was on this site). I'm not a huge gamer, but the 660/1231 combo allowed me to max out settings on Cities Skylines, Civ 5, and BeamNG.
