dual i7 configuration

[Ahmed_Hassaan]

I think that GIGABYTE MD60-SC0 E-ATX / SSI EEB Server Motherboard 2 x LGA 2011 R3 will be able to support 2 of any of the following i7 processors:
Intel® Core™ i7-5960X Processor Extreme Edition
Intel® Core™ i7-5930K/ i7-5820K Processors
Intel® Core™ i7-6950X Processor Extreme Edition
Intel® Core™ i7-6900K / i7-6850K / i7-6800K Processors

So, the question is, that if I get that setup done, will it work?

No. You have to use Xeons for multple cpu setups. Gigabyte doest even list any i7s as compatible with the board just Xeons.

Are Xeons better or i7 better for gaming purpose?

Clock for Clock they if you have the same CPU architecture they are identical. However factor in the XEON generally have a lower clock speed. Plus add in the fact that they use the lowest speed memory and it's ECC. XEONs are not better for gaming....ever.

If you are wanting a gaming rig you are looking at the wrong platform. For gaming youd be better off with a socket 1151 i7 like the 7700k and a top end gpu. Rather than spening alot of money on a server/workstation grade dual cpu board and dual Xeons. Theres alot if wasted money there for a gaming rig. Hell that motherboard alone costs about what a 7700k and a z270 board would cost.
