I built similar kind of rig.

i purchased Xeon 2683v3 OEM  from ebay from the icomputer_parts in Japan at USD 351 + USD 16 (EMS Shipping - Registered mail)

the chips on sale are linked below. He sells in batches and re-lists a new batch again.

his chips are Legit, and are OEM not ES. I did a corona benchmark and got 55 seconds (BCLK 104.0 overclocked) and 58 seconds normal.
Basically they have been pulled out servers currently, only visible small scuffs on the Chips, Shipping was 1 week with tracking available. They come in an envelope package and are padded.

For customs he basically marks them as Gift "Computer Processors for Testing Purposes" and costs them at USD 22.
I paid only USD 10 for customs in my home country :)

I've just purchased 2 of those last friday and today its already in Hungary by the tracking. Guess it's arriving very soon. Good seller I think

I bought my 2686V3 from iComputer_Parts_International, which at least looks like they are the same seller network. My deal went totally fine.

They run flawlessly.

Hi guys,
   I am also interested on buying a same WS as you said my only consideration is that i want them for a main workstation and not for a render node, would you think that ill have viewport/ single core problems with interactive maybe? or ill be just fine? ( due to their single core slow speed) Cheers!

I ask myself exactly the same question.

These are great for render nodes, but not for the main workstation, max turbo is way too low. If you can stretch your budget go for 2696v3

[Juraj]

On the oem version, the turbo is not 'terrible' per se, and it would run applications just fine. Just not amazing.

2696 v3 OEM costs near 900e and the retail one costs 1500e, since i wanted for main workstation which one is it worth it?

I'm also building a similar PC what OP choose and this whole thread started as a goal for aiming a good workstation and fast working in interactive mode but now you're saying it will be just fine (because it can only use a single core)? whaaat? I also bought two e5-2683 v3 OEMs and I tought it kicks in fast and uses both CPUs also during the working process (interactive shading) not only when it comes to final rendering. No offense to anyone btw I'm just worried now that I made the wrong choice :S
