I'm looking to put together a workstation setup for Maya, Nuke, and video editing, will be running a quadro K4200 GPU.

Need some help deciding if I would be better off with a dual E5-2620 V3 or i7 5960X (or another CPU configuration?). The costs are about the same from what I've seen.

thanks

My guess would be the dual XEON would be faster for multi-threaded applications.

Dual XEON vs. i7
CPU: 12 cores @ 2.4-3.2 GHz vs. 8 cores @ 3-3.5 GHz
Memory: 8 Memory channels @ 1866 MHz vs 4 Memory channels @ 2133 MHz
Cache: 2*15 MB vs 1*20 MB
