Wouldn't 16GB be more than enough?

| It's a workstation board, meaning that it's mainly meant for rendering CG. |

Ahh, okay.
To be honest, you could justify 32 GB if you were spending time prerendering CGI cutscenes, but I can't think of any real time CGI rendering that really would need 32 GB.

Indeed.
Here's the PDF for the computer itself.

Worth about $3000 at the time. |

I'm just stuck with an AMD FX 6300. It's not THAT bad, but I really want to get a Xeon E3-1231 soon.

| You my friend, may have a Gaming rig on your hands and something that may be worth a lot of money in the future. |

Like I said before, Just go with the 1246 v3. It is so much better.

"Gaming with dual xeons and a quadro" that's like making a workstation with an i5 4690k, a gtx 970 gamers graphics card and gaming accessories

You throw a decent graphics card in that rig and your computer will be future proof for the next 5-6 years. |

| You might as well since you still would be able to use it for rendering. |

You insist on throwing a Xeon in your rig, that makes it a Workstation automatically. But yet you use it for gaming. So why is it a big deal if he puts a beefy GPU in his workstation? |
