Well that would increase your CPU power significantly. Is your disk speed a bottleneck at all in this application? Can you distribute the application across multiple severs easily?
Consider this thread for a $500 dual e5-2670 with 64 gb ram, all ready to go just add disks.

The supermicro is nice but at $700+$140 (cpus) = $840 is not as good of a value. CPUs installation is easy but delicate with really small pins that it is possible to damage. SAS is like a double sided SATA connector, so just different cables and very similar.
