I was able yo get a 6 core 12 thread e5-2630 V2 xeon for about 40$ and i paired It with a generic x79 eBay board, and i researched It and its SLI/CrossFire capable. I'm planning to upgrade to a dual socket if i can find another cheap enough xeon. But for now, i can get a pretty cheap pair if r9 fury Xs, and put them on CrossFire, taking advantage of the 40 PCIe lanes of the xeon and running them on full x16 speed. I paired the xeon with a pretty decent cooler to ensure that will fin on turbo speed (wich is 3,1 GHz) most of the time. But i am concerned if the xeon will bottleneck the furys. What do you think?
