Xeon E5-2650 dual socket worth ?

[Essence_of_Darkness]

Is dual socket Xeon E5-2650 worth for video, audio, photo editing, CAD, virtualization and some little gaming.

If it is which motherboard is good and is normal ddr3 @ 1866 mhz good as tempornary solution ?

I would say so, but depends on the price.

$150 for pair of Xeon E5-2650.

Well, for what price can you get a board? The boards for 2011 are usually more expensive than the CPUs (same for 1366, though dual boards are really cheap there). DDR3 ECC is cheap though.

If its a pair then f*ck yes its worth it, lil bit of OC on both if possible to get that 3 GHz and youre ballin, dunno about what mobo to reccomend, i'd basicly buy any used one from Asus, yes im bit that brand biased, for cheapest if its in seemingly good condition, also that RAM would work fine for your needs.

I don't have plan to OC cause I have this case

 

And I am planning to get this mobo

DDR3 1866 would work, but why not use the cheap ECC RAM available? 4x4GB kits can be had for 30-40€, with 16 slots you can get 64 GBs of RAM for about 150€. The board looks alright.

I have 40 GB's of DDR3 non-ECC memory and I will later upgrade to 128 GB of ECC memory.

Even without OC it'll be a very capable system and mobo looks fine aswell if the seller isnt ripping you off.

I contacted him to send a footage of benchmarks and footage how he is installing it and booting up for first time and he did. Deal has reviews and I ordered it.
