I found a board on ebay for around $110.

I think if you are spending $70 on a CPU & $110 on a motherboard for two old components, you would be better off buying the latest stuff, $70 for motherboard and $120 for a i3 Skylake CPU.

 Assuming American prices

Oh, now we know what the CPU is.  If you can use those cores, go for it I think...

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

It is the DX58SO, it unoffically supports x56xx cpus

Don't get that board, it's shit. You'll be stuck at the 2.9Ghz. Get a E5-2670, and a server c602/x79 board.

US$200 for a proprietary server board? Doesn't seem like a good deal when you can get a brand new ASRock X99 motherboard for $250.

Yea but X99 chips are $400, while the 2670 is $70.

I love Xeons, don't get me wrong, but for a normal PC user there just isn't any value in the E5-2670.

Yes they have 8 cores and 16 threads, but unless you're a serious video-editing or F@H freak who would actually benefit from an insane Cinebench score, then there's no return on that $300-$400 investment (lets face it....the motherboards are the priciest shit on the market).

Quad cores and six core processors are still the bang-for-buck winners when it comes to everyday computing and gaming.

Excellent chips. 4.3GHz OC basically puts you in stock 5820k territory. So... basically you can have a cheap gaming and workstation rig. I love mine but I'm selling it for an X99 system. I'd stick with Gigabyte, Asus, or an Intel board. EVGA works too but most of them require them to be sent to EVGA to be modded with a new BIOS chip. 

 

The deal with these are they are basically like... X99's baby brother that runs 30% slower clock for clock. That's not an exact comparison but it's close enough. The other deal with the X58 rigs are that the case that it makes the most sense is when you either have a board and simply need to swap from an old 920-960 to the Xeon or you are able to find a crazy deal on a board. Paying more than maybe... $120 on a board I would just save the extra money and go X99.

 

I was able to get an X99 board and 32GB of ram for $265 the other day... but then again I need to dish out another $300 at the least for even the cheapest of the X99 chips.

So buying newer tech and new out of the box for $300 more... is it worth it to you? Goodluck, hope that helps.
