Hi! I know these processors are pretty low end but I'm just in it for a low budget build. I'm curious to know which CPU is better. I can get both for pretty much the same price. Thanks!

Xeon is WAY better. Not only is it noticeably more powerful, it also consumers more than 2x less power.

Grab the Xeon. It's better.

Also, if you are on LOW budget, you can get this sytem and upgrade it:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T3500-Xeon-Quad-Core-X5570-2-93GHz-8GB-RAM-500GB-NVIDIA-/171964581081?hash=item2809e344d9:g:KXQAAOSwT6pVt9Ru
