scientific calculations (Dft with Castep, abnit and wien2k) using single i7-5630k and dual xeon e5-2620 v2 configurations

Two E5-2620 v2 will be faster only if the software takes advantage of dual CPUs and all 24 threads. A mildly overclocked i7-5930K (stability is more important than ultimate performance) is very fast for most taks. I'm not at all familiar with your applications, but you can compare the i7-5630K with the E5-2697 v2 (with 12 cores/24 threads and a higher frequency it's faster than 2x E5-2620 v2): http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1316?vs=1319
