Why do you want to upgrade? Do you need the processing power? Probably not.

Not for any reason other then wanting to. It was just a spare server I had laying around and I thought I could upgrade this or get rid of it and jump into the sff pc's

MOAR is always better - you just have to decide if you want it to be your system or your money?
