Not totally sure what the specs are other the it's come with two Zion cpus a 2.6 Gtz each and each has 16 threads.

Do you want to play games on it or make the host a see for a game. You need a gpu to play games. Also fix you spelling.

As far as i know you can't stream directly to a TV. 
You will need a so called thin client (a laptop will do.) that you install Steam on and than use its in-home streaming function. This is the best solution for streaming games right now. TeamViewer or even Microsoft's Remote Desktop do not work very well for games as there is too much latency and the frames are usually below 30. But for watching movies they might be good enough.


If I understood you correctly you have two 16 thread xeons that run at 2,6 GHz and paird with a 980 ti this should be more than enough power for streaming needs. 

For streaming pirated games or games from other publishers that are not one steam: Click on add a non-steam game and then stream it. For games like GTA 5 that have a login window you will need do something else. I usually add Notepad or Wordpad to Steam as a non-steam game, launch it on the client, press ctrl+space+n to minimize it and that allowes you to stream the whole desktop. Now just launch any game you like.


If there are more people that want to play on this server, but you want to use it for work at the same time, just use VMware's vsphere hypervisor or something like Unraid to create multiple virtual machines (VMs).(Each VM need it's own GPU, but it doesn't need to be as good as the one you will be playing games on) They are both easy enough to set up for total noobs like me, but they do have some drawbacks. 
VMware is free, but the free version only allows 8 virtual cpu cores per VM. If you ask me VMware is better, but i was unable to set it up properly so I tried to do the same thing with Unraid and I got it working. Unraid has a free trial, but after 44 days you have to purchuse it. 

CPU: 2x Xeon E5 2670 Motherboard: ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16,  RAM: 64GB of 1333 MHz mermory from Samsung (ECC),  GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070,  Case: NZXT Switch 810, Storage: Samsug EVO 250GB and 500GB, 3x3 TB and 1x1TB  HDD  PSU: Corsair RM 850,  Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2s,  Headset: Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO black edition (80 ohm), OS: UnRaid with two VMs and Plex
