Essentially, I would like to know how much better some of the Xeon chips are than Intels range of i7/i5's in gaming. I've seen a few Xeons on ebay noticeably around the £130 mark and compared to i7 chips are significantly cheaper. The motherboards seem to look fairly expensive though however x58 boards can be picked up reasonably second hand. Are there any drawbacks to xeon chips in gaming or should i stick with going for an i-series range.
