12 cores doesn't buy you anything with SAW/SAC. Those extra cores will be functionally wasted.
Its also a power hog at 115W.
I'm not sure I understand the point of building a new system on functionally old technology.
If your going to go through the effort to build a new system, would it not be a better long term investment to move the technology as far forward as possible (obviously constrained by cost).
I'm not suggesting spending vast amounts of money just because, but SATA connected SSD drives are dog slow compared to modern M.2 drives. If the point is to get a high-performance, low-latency system I think you'd be better off with a more modern configuration.
My point is not to criticize your choice just to point out a possible alternative point of view and perhaps some drawbacks/limitations you might want to consider.
