What do you guys think of pairing this motherboard and these processors? Will it work? Does the board have the connectors to make a decent gaming pc?

Board: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-INTEL-S5000XALR-BB5000XALR-SOCKET-J-XEON-QUAD-SERVER-BOARD-/130593535395?hash=item1e67fb35a3:m:mLi_9GMsJKFtAH7KEgyAmtg

CPU: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-Two-Intel-Xeon-Quad-X5470-3-33-GHz-Processors-SLBBF-/152465201942?hash=item237fa25b16:g:Xu8AAOSwo4pYb59n

 

Cheers,

Callum

I actually got a supermicro X7DCA-L server board for my server last year that has a PCIe x16 slot that I would be willing to sell to you since I am not using it. Other than that that is the boartd I would buy. Unfortunately, it looks like I bought one of the last few because the boards left on ebay now are going for $100+

Could I decent gaming pc for a reasonable price with it? is it compatible with the above processor? Are the above processors worth it? 

 

Sorry for all the questions i'm a Newb...

 

Thanks!

you would probably be better off trying to find a board that supports a single xeon and buy a single xeon rather than trying to use a multi socket motherboard as a multiprocessor build isn't ideal for a gaming rig.
