HP Z420 Xeon E5-1620 or i7-4770K desktop?


Recommended Posts

I have two machines and not sure which one to install unraid on: 

An old PC with an i7-4770K on a MAXIMUS VI HERO mobo, 16GB RAM. 

An HP Z420 with E5-1620 and 64 GB RAM. 
 

I'll mainly use the unraid server as a NAS. Maybe Run PLEX and play around with other apps and VM's.
I'm new to the server world. 

The i7 has a higher score than the Xeon, is the Xeeon better in other ways? Will the extra RAM help?
Also, can I move the RAM sticks from the HP to the ASUS MAXIMUX mobo? Not sure if ECC unbuffered sticks will work or what they even are tbh.
