Most games utilize 2-3 cores, maximum. So it comes down to which processor has stronger individual cores, which is easily the Xeon. That Xeon is an excellent chip, though I might suggest the 1241 as it's 100mhz faster. If you think that's worth $20 more

xeon. with the 9590 you would need a more expensive motherboard, bigger psu, and watercooling. The xeon chip is much more efficient so you can get away with a lower end motherboard, smaller psu (150 less watts required.) and stock intel cooler. It will also have superior performance on average.

They technically "support" Xfire, but the second slot does not run in X8 nor X16 mode, meaning the second card would be bottlenecked in Xfire.
I would recommend you consider different cards however, they run very hot and loud, and are two(ish) generations old.
