I mean it could, but unless you also used this system for other workstation purposes and not mainly gaming, then a mainstream desktop processor would be much better, as something like a 6600k will have much better single core performance, and could all around come close to the 2620 in more workstation environments. Games still arent using more than 4 cores and most use 2, so for gaming single core performance is much more important.

Definitely. Any xeon model can handle gaming. Now 4k gaming won't be easy, but your xeon might make it...

dont get that xeon it will struggle with gaming and its not very powerful. get a used e5-2670 instead they are like $60 game great and have better multi-thread preformance

Should I get i7 4930K or i7-4820k for it instead becuase I'm also focusing at workstation purposes.Also, my Motherboard can only support LGA2011 socket.
