Xeon isn't particularly good for gaming, at least not as good as the i7. The Xeon is more server oriented.
I've said this a million times but I'll say it again. The thing that makes Intel better than amd is the fact that they have stronger/more powerful cores. Most games won't use anymore than 2 or 4 cores (usually 2) so by using amd's logic of "more cores=more power" you're just getting a bunch of cores you'll rarely use... And weaker individual cores.
Also this conversation has gotten all fucked up, building a PC is not this hard or technical, the market pretty much has everything laid out so all you have to do is decide what your budget is and just go buy shit based off reviews :lol:
Hrubs, scrap that turd (shitty case included) and start new, stop trying to keep an old piece of shit going :mrgreen:
