Will my server rig perform well at gaming?

[redhulk]

Hey guys,

Long story short, I have some server equipment here from a business of mine that tanked not too long ago :/. Needless to say, I don't have the funds to purchase a gaming rig. I did, however, recently sell my laptop and I'm looking to put those funds into a high-end graphics card and just pair that up with the parts I already have here rather than going through the hassle of selling them for much less than I paid.

This is what I'm working with:

MoBo: SUPERMICRO MBD-X8DAH+-F-O
CPU: (2) Xeon E5645's
RAM: 64GB of Wintec DDR 1333 ECC Registered
HDD: (2) Intel 520 Series SSD's 512GB
PSU: 920W Supermicro
Running (3) Asus full HD monitors

Please keep in mind that I will use this machine for work as well, which is pretty CPU intensive. Will slapping in a nice card in there make for a good gaming experience? I am now working from home, and looking to do a lot of gaming during my downtime. Is this something that would pair well with a Titan or bottleneck it? a 690?

Any input is very much appreciated, many thanks .

Will do great with a new card. Wait for some other posters, but I'm pretty sure you won't be bottlenecked.
