I have some spare parts laying around and wanted to build something for a friend. I have an ASUS rampage II motherboard from a CG5290 desktop. It has a 1366 socket, the same as the Xeon X5560 2.8 ghz, which I also sourced for really cheap. But the CPU is a server CPU, and the computer is going to be used for gaming. Will the CPU still function as it's rated? Any bottlenecking issues?

I already have both components so please do not suggest something better for cheaper, I need to work with what I have. Thanks!!
