Hi
I'm going to purchase a system with Dual xeon x2 E5450 processors 3.00Ghz 4 cores 12MB cache 8Gb samsung Ram and Geforce GT 630 2GB card.... will it provide me 6.00Ghz, 8 cores and 24MB cache speed....? Or is it best for gaming....? Or should i go for core i5 3570k...??
Please suggest me about this, I'm very confuse about this.
 
Dual Xeons are not best for for gaming; not only is 'more cores is always better' not true, is is more than 'doubly' not true when the multiple cores are now split in different sockets due to latencies involved in inter-socket/RAM communication/access...

You could quite possibly pull a CPU and get better performance with a single socket, albeit with much less RAM sockets now able to be populated...

The GT630 was slow even 8 years ago....; now it is suitable for only Quake 3. :)

Best to let go of the clearance $100 rigs (unless training on servers, Linux, WS2016, ESXi), and save up for a B350/R5-2400G
 
Each CPU has a primary bank of RAM they access. Both CPUs can access all RAM via NUMA, it's just there's a performance/latency penalty when doing so. The good news is that modern OS's are aware of this, so it's less of an issue than before.

As for games, you're far better off going for higher clock speeds than cores as most operations are single threaded anyways.
