dual e5-2620 processors
64 gb ram -8 sticks of 8 GB 1333 Ram
14-600 GB SAS6 10K HDD

1-Samsung VNME 1GB m.2 ssd
16 GB Gskill Ram

anticipate to wait for GTX 1180 GPU

Primarily vlogging and teenage kids game use as accounting server for 3 employees as well.

If you were building a server to host a large SQLServer database, and you had a dedicated room to put it in, the Xeon system for sure.

As you're not doing that....the 8700. No question.


However.....
"teenage kids game use" and "accounting server for 3 employees" really, really, really needs to be 2 different systems.
When the kids game use corrupts the system and takes out the accounting software...someone is going to be unhappy.
