Why dual Xeon? Boxx is excessively expensive. If you wanted to build your own you could get these specs for about $4030.

2x 8-core i7 3.0GHz (16 core or 32 threads)
32GB of Ram
GTX 980 (or you could get a Titan or Quadro)
256GB SSD and 3TB HDD

CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X x2 $2,100

Also you could try building a non-dual CPU computer and getting something like a Xeon Phi, which are 50-60 core coprocessors.

i want to buy a workstation

thomasp

i'm not an expert on this but generally speaking you will want to look at the cpu with the most cores your budget allows vs cpu'S with fewer cores but higher clock frequencies.
other brands worth looking at are HP's and lenovo's workstation lines. if you're buying into workstations, make sure you factor in the support in your location - can you get spare parts/replacement machines quick if it develops aa problem?

one thing worth noting is that in my experience (used to run an IBM/now lenovo workstation but also have been exposed to HP and boxx) these things are primarily built to copy with running under load for extended times and also have to be suited for installation in server racks. which is to say the cooling is quite agressive/audible.

alternatively if this is for home use, you could look into a pre-built standard/'enthusiast'-type computer. the advantage may be that you can get a silent machine with somewhat higher specs than a workstation from a known vendor. support may be the issue though.
