just came here to say it should be a decent upgrade... that xeon is westmere like 9 years old on the 1366 platform. granted it has 6 cores its an ancient architecture. Though it seems OP has already made up their mine just wanted to drop my 2 cents.

The 3600 will do a good job on its own overclocking with pbo.

I would go for the x570 a pro. I don't see the vrm getting too tosty with a 3600. But the tomahawk is a solid board also.
