After Significant research, I've decided that it would be best to put a xeon in a gaming pc, because for the price $203 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0084NUZX2/?tag=pcpapi-20, you could maybe pick up a lower end I5 that would still not have the power of this xeon. So say we were to put everything aside, would you prefer a lower end I5 or a xeon e3 1240 v2. Just a raw comparison between two cpus in an equal spec computers w/ graphics card. Just food for thought. Leave your opinion for I am curious.
