Hi everybody!
I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house.
I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why?
The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7.
Thanks!

    Also if you do any sort of media processing the 6700k has a gpu and quicksync built in that can speed these things up significantly.

    This is a good point that probably will make the decision lean towards the i7, thanks!
