I can buy 2x xeon x5570 + mobo + PSU + 32GB ECC RAM almost 2 times cheaper than i5 4670K<single CPU only> <i already have mobo 1150>
IS it worth?
In general performacne?
Games?
video editing?
Mobo for xeons supports single PCIv2 x16 GPU.
 
That's pretty cheap, most 1366 boards are absurdly expensive and make old Xeon systems impractical.

The i5, especially once overclocked, will have a huge single-threaded performance advantage, so it will undoubtedly be a better gaming and general desktop CPU. For anything that can utilize all of the Xeon's cores, they'll greatly outpace the i5.

PCIe 2.0 will not have a significant negative impact on GPU performance.

Well i can get server 500W PSU, dual xeon mobo, 2x x5570 xeon, 32 GB of ECC RAM and server case in sth like 3/5 of single < only> i5 4690K
So is this deal worth or go for i5?
Anyway thanks for replay.

I have desktop pc with LGA1150 so i can just buy I5 alone, but price is bit high, so i was looking for other options.
Then i found this dual lga1366 motherboard.
I dont rly. know how that xeons preform, or perf/to price.
Well I5 /i7 are expensive......
