What's the current opinion on the cheap dual e5-2670 builds for budget manycore applications?

If you're not familiar with this, it's about $300 for two surplus 8-core 2.6ghz sandy vag CPUs + motherboard.

Are these still the way to go, or are sufficiently cheap ivy or even haslel setups a better choice now?

It's cheaper to buy a Dell Precision T5600 than it is to buy a motherboard and build the machine from components.

And yes, they are still the cheapest way to get a "powerful" PC.

i currently run a single 2670 and it games at max settings 1080p 60+ frames on almost every title.

as for workstation purposes, i havent gotten around to testing much but it is nice to have world of tanks and runescape running both smoothly at the same time so i can afk train while in tank matches

X99 board + Haswell E-xeon is the way to go,you will get more cores and way lower wattage.

E5 2xxx v3 engineering sample xeons are pretty good and you will get a decent 14-core one for pretty cheap

You'll get fewer cores and they generally seem to be much lower clocked, do you have a specific recommendation?
