Before everyone goes all: "UWOT M8!? Y U GAME ON WINDOWS SERVER!??"

So, I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 on my rig next to Windows 7 because I need to do some things on the Server side for school.

So I installed all the drivers and I thought by myself: "Hey let's install Steam and play some TF2!"
So I installed Steam and TF2, but it really runs like hell. Which is odd as Win2k12 is 8.1 with mostly server add ons.
I already used the Windows server to workstation converter from <Malicious Link removed by moderator> but still no luck.

My specs:
Core-i7 4790k
GTX 780
16GB RAM

If someone could help me turn Win2k12 into a full-fleshed workstation that could run games and Steam that would be epic
