Building a Workstation for Maya animation and PC gaming at 4K (Witcher 3, DA: Inquisition, Battlefield ect...). I plan to install Windows 10 on the workstation setup. Which will give me better performance and for gaming FPS. The dual Xeon E5-2687W V3 3.1GHz 10-Core or dual Xeon E5-2687W V2 3.4GHz 8-Core Processor? I plan to run 2 GTX Titan X in SLI. When it comes to Maya rendering the Dual Xeon’s 16-20 cores will crush an overclocked 8 core i7-5960X I’m sure. I'm aware that Xeon's are not for gaming but I'm sure they come close in FPS especially the newer games that depend on multiple cores.
Dual E5-2687W v3 - 10 Core - 3.1 – 3.5 GHz
