Uh yes. If that is the case than a i7-970 and 1080 Ti would be a good pair? If you think cores is the only thing, match up the i7-970 (six freaking cores) with the 6700, and you tell me. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-970-vs-Intel-Core-i7-6700

You are trying to use ancient tech. It's not just about the core. It's about clock speed, threads (which the G4560 has hyperthreadding), cache size, and the ability to upgrade. I'm not saying stay with the G4560, but it s a good starting point. Then you could upgrade to a i7-7700K which needs no introduction.

But hey, that's just my 3 cents.

Honestly neither. You are banking on 6 year old tech.

However, if I had to choose it would be Xeon. It has more cores, threads, and not to mention the passmark is double. But that you have to realize that Xeon chips is not meant for consumer operating systems. So, you probably will not notice a huge difference in performance. I would honestly, consider using newer tech.

If price dont matter why not upgrade to a newer build? I know alot of people who take the old dell 380 optiplex pc and upgrade them to a Xeon 5450 FOR A LITTLE MORE power but your talking socket 775 to 771 trick.

Go with the Xeon. Extra threads will help w/ editing workloads.

Both are still quite powerful processors. They're not Kaby Lake levels of IPC, but they'll handle anything you throw at them just fine.

You may want to consider newer hardware altgoether. You are only going to get frustration when trying to play games, especailly with a GTX 750 Ti. If you are on a tight budget, it may be best holding out not until you are able to get to probably a G4560/GTX 1050. Of course that means a new motherboard and RAM, but it's not that expensive.
