I am looking to upgrade my PC specifically for audio and video editing. I saw an Intel Xeon X5650 for £25 and apparently it is good for video editing. Then I was looking for a motherboard to go with it and found this;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-ProLiant-DL380-G6-Dual-Xeon-Socket-1366-LGA1366-Motherboard-496069-001-/282565771770?hash=item41ca3b81fa:g:1-UAAOSwSzFZY2rX

It only costs £50 and has sockets for dual xeons which means I could have dual xeons for £100 which surely is very good for the price. However, I don't seem to be able to find anything out about that motherboard online at all - could anyone tell me about it? Would I be able to use it in a build with dual xeons, 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz ram, and an RX-470 4GB. Should I buy it?

Thanks :)

Thanks for the reply! However, I don't know enough about PC's to know what most of that means. It seems that the motherboard is used in servers - would I still be able to use it in a home PC?

If you want to go that route I would suggest buying a whole running workstation with RAM, PSU, case and everything. No aftermarket parts will fit. But LGA771 is really a dinosaur.
My personal advice would be to get a Dell T3500 workstation with one of the 6 core 12 thread Xeons. 3 channel DDR3 RAM and 2 GPU slots will probably do what you want. They can be found for under $100. Much more conventional in design and faster in every way.
