So my little brother just got my dad's old PC, it had a good case put the parts were not so good so we sold them now we only have a case BUT we have about 400-600 dollars to build a PC for him and without thinging i just said that he should get a dual Xeon PC because he want's to stream, play and record videos at the same time. He liked the idea so we got him couple of X5450's and 8GB's of DDR2 and they are shipping to us right now and he said that want's to overclock the CPU's to get the max performance out of it, and we don't know what would be the best mobo for this and if you could help us with this, me and my little brother would be happy. Oh and it would be nice if the mobo supported PCI-E and atleast 8GB's of ram because we already got 8GB's. (We also are going to get a couple of Hyper 212 EVO's and put them in a push-pull configuration and we have a 1000 watt XFX PSU.) (I actually got that PSU as a gift put the PC that i'm building doesn't need that much power anyway.) So if you could help us with these we would be happy.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: And also if you could suggest a good GPU with this configuration it would also help.

You wont be able to overclock on any server boards, (what you will find for xeons 5450's) And honestly a server is complicated and tricky, I built a computer with the same CPU's the board I used was an Intel S5000PSL. I used a EVGA GTX 1050ti SC.

Also for a Case, You will 99% need an E-ATX case... MAKE SURE its labeled to fin one or you will have to return it
