Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 gaming and workstation

[John96]

I currently own a Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3, an i7 5960x and a i7 4790k.

A lot of my time is spent rendering videos in 4k and the 4790k wasn't able to keep up with my workflow.

Furthermore in my spare time i like to game a lot (in 4k)

I wanted to build a PC centered around the xeon however i have heard that i would get very limited by its 2.4Ghz as games prefer fewer faster cores (like the 4790k)

So my question is, will i get noticeably bottlenecked by the xeon?

As for gpu's i have dual 980's in sli

Most modern pc games clock speed is king as most games are limited to a few cores. If the 4790k doesn'y have enough cores, in that case you have your answer with the 5960k

The e5-2690v3 has a turbo speed of 3.5ghz so it's plenty strong enough for any game. Even it's base clock of 2.6ghz is stronger than the FX8350's 4.0ghz so it would do just fine.
