Since we don't know which Xeon you're talking about, I'd say the i5.

Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

What

[espio100]

Considering if he even wants a Xeon in the range of not being the same as an i5 then he has to spend at least 300 on it plus a server grade mobo to even take advantage of rendering 1 second faster on said cpu. Xeons will render better when you dual socket then but that costs a lot of money.

Double post I dont give a stuff because phones suck

Mobo is fine
I think
A xeon is basicly an i7 without the iGPU and the $100 more

Please dont kill me but I decided to get the AMD FX-6300 for my gaming and streaming rig.
Honestly looking at benchmarks the FPS difference is very, very low and even higher at games wich utilise more cores.
Even on FarCry 4 (wich is the stufftiest port ever made) has an FPS difference of 5 tops over the i5-4460.

What's the difference between a CPU and a GPU

why don't we just use GPUs if they're like a billion times better than any CPU

I need to do physics calculations and rendering and high-poly sculpting

Because they're not, they're made to do things that CPU's can't but not things that CPU's can

I'm going to buy a GPU that's less powerful than my CPU just because upgrading the GPU is a lot easier than the CPU.

Its litteraly the same unless you have a different socket and have to buy a different mobo?

Last time I built a PC the video card just plugged into the motherboard. The CPU I had to delicately lay down with thermal paste and put the heatsink on top of it.

2 extra steps wowzers.
Just buy good parts at the start.

I just wish I knew what to prioritize in a 3D/2D art computer. I need to be able to draw ~12 million tris somewhat smoothely for sculpting. My current computer runs that number at 6 fps. I don't know what CPUs and GPUs to choose without going overboard. And on top of that it would be great to have a computer that's almost quiet during idle, like the one I have right now.

a good CPU for rendering I guess. If you aren't going to really use it for games or whatever an AMD will do.

espio you don't know what you're talking about
stop

espio you don't know what you're talking about
stop

I have 30% of an idea what I am talking about.
Shut up
