E5-1650v2 vs i5-3570k for Gaming?

[rich9573]

Hi all,

The company I work for has been bought out. I currently work as a CAD engineer. The current PC's are not under the new companys accepted lot so we need to replace them. I was wondering if the new cpu would be better than my current one. Unfortunately I would have to swap the motherboard as well.

My Comp

I5-3570K
H100i Corsair Cooler
Asrock Z77 Extreme Motherboard
Samsung 840 SSD and 2Tb 7200RPM HDD
Gigabyte 7950HD GPU
16gb Ram
Corsair 500R Case

Work Comp:

Dell precision T3610 motherboard
E3-1650v2 3.5 Ghz CPU
Nvidia K4000
liteonit lcs-256 SCSI SSD in RAID and 1 TB 7200 HDD
32gb Ram

I am thinking of upgrading my GPU with the AMD 490 gpu when it releases and I want to in a year rebuild the pc and make a smaller one. Though I really don't think I need to.

Is this cpu worth replacing my current one? Or any of the other parts? Thanks

If you do things like rendering, maybe. But for the most part, I wouldn't recommend it.

If that 32GB of RAM is DDR3, then I would definitely get that.

The k4000 is still worth a lot, so maybe sell it and use the money for that future GPU upgrade.

Sorry if this is a late post. I started typing this a long time ago, but go interrupted. Without refreshing the page, this would be the first post.

1st, xeon e5 1650v2 is the 6 cores and 12 threads, Ivy Bridge cpu http://ark.intel.com/products/75780/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-1650-v2-12M-Cache-3_50-GHz
From one review, they used the e5 2670 ( 8 cores 16 threads, Sandy Bridge) with i7 6700K and i5 4690K. http://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc/ keep in mind, Skylake > haswell > Ivy Bridge > Sandy Bridge. For most of games the xeon will have almost same performances, but it is good for application/rendering, also no game really uses more than 4 cores for now at least. One more thing because you need the MB for the e5, which is about $300.
So for games only, just like jtabb1256 said: don't recommend. If for games/ and rendering/ photoshop, etc. Maybe, because when you build the Xeon PC, you want the low budget.

By the way the RAM should be the DDR3 ECC type. And if that pc is free, take it. The K4000 is similar to the gtx480 for games. https://www.renderosity.com/nvidia-quadro-k4000-in-review-cms-16633 Those SCSI SSDs are OK. The 32GB RAM is great.
