Xeon or i7
For Daily Average Gaming and Edittng use, considering the price, performance, heat output and power consumption, and features, which would be better.
An i7 or a Xeon?
Whichever is cheapest.
Basically, the "equivalent" Xeon that compares to any specific i7 is generally more expensive, and will give you little to no benefit under your use-case.
However with that in mind, if you happen to find an equivalent Xeon for a better price, then sure go for it as long as your Motherboard supports the Xeon.
But I wouldn't go out of my way to get one. Gaming wise, there's hardly even a use for an i7, where you can get almost identical performance with an i5. It's the editing that the i7 might be of use. Can you be more specific with what kind of editing? Video? Photographic? Audio? And also what software would you be using?
