Go to solution Solved by i_build_nanosuits,

no, for the task described by the op the xeon he picked is vastly superior...go with what youve listed op its perferct mid/high-end workstation imho and very good gaming rig as well.

 

stock intel heatsink on this is perfectly fine to use if you want to save 30$ go ahead, the 212 is quieter though.

 

i would go with a 2x 8gb ram kit as well.
