Xeon For Gaming?

[ChristianTW]

So I have a bit of an issue. I am working on some video rendering so I am needing to upgrade my CPU. I was considering getting a dual Xeon build running 2x E5-2630 v3 and would just replace a few of my current components. Would that work for gaming? Or should I just make a new build?

Here is my current build for better reference:

2 x Xeons is OK for number crunching eg video rendering. But not needed for gaming. I'd stick with what you've got.

But would it be fine for gaming? Cause I am doing video rendering.

Yeah it'll be OK for gaming too. And 2 x Xeons will render videos a lot better than an i5.

Awesome, thank you for the answer!
