Do I need to change anything for this PC to be Good For Games?
I have bought an dell precision t3600 and bought some parts to upgrade it in order to game on it, I had initial intention on gaming to it but got suggested to buy this pc back then so I am stuck with it now. So here are the specs.

gpu: Gtx 980
Mobo: dell precision t3600 Model:08HPGT
Cpu: intel xeon e5-1620 3.6ghz.
Ram: 8gb. 4x2gb sticks.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
Storage: SSD samsung 850evo

I thought about swaping all parts but this would be a waste of money, its been a while but still, I dont think I should waste money for practically buying a new pc or swapping parts (its practically the same).

Is there anything that needs to be changed (the most) in order to get good performance in games? I currently stutter in games like heroes of the storm, or offline games too depending on the game of course.
Thanks

if you don't like that pc ill gladly post my address and you can send it to me


but for real the stuttering, hmm, that has nothing to do with your parts being weak in performance, they are all very strong parts, perhaps your drivers are at fault or one of the parts is faulty, or the game is not optimized

obviously, to be more simple, I have done everything. You name it.
to give you an example , I even patched out my pcie to use gen3 which is hardwarewise available and compatible but was not used on these speeds till I made it to do so, google it if you want.
Drivers, clean install, to save time just read the thread and come back to comment.

clean install windows>driversfromdell page that the mod recomended me to from a external media>game>playgame
(of course including the gpu drivers)
Lets Just call it naked PC gameplay.
It is answered numerous times.
Yes tried windows7 and 10. no change. Swapped motherboard with guarantee, tried gtx770 and gtx980, Bought SSD and played from there, no antivirus or anything, clean install drivers (obviously).
Is it THAT of a problem that I run xeon instead of i7/i5? Kinda saw the specs, I have a bit better stats on that, and tried tweaking some related stuff around on the bios, various CPU states etc. Hyperthread, c-states, SpeedStep, even super fetch and all pre-fetching options, tried disabling the memory correction as well.
No idea really, this has come to be a mystery. Literally more than a year, thats why I call it tech challenge, I may indeed need a gaming pc instead but for the sake of specs, it should work for its value, It comes to be too odd.
I really dont know, My suspicions are, configurations, ram, cpu (powerful though), motherboard (more like its type but dont know), psu (Probably, or not?), drivers (up to date though). Out of the question antivirus/es and third party programs.
