I really don't think Calibre needs a Game quality machine. It is DATA intensive.

I had this rammed home. The Boss bought a hot i5 (this was early 2K) to create a 8 stream, Video streaming test bed. It kept crashing streams.
The card manufacturer was puzzled. they ran 4 cards (we had 2) without issue.
Turned out, they were using a (Dell) server. Turns out the data bus is designed different. We got a 1U, 386 server and our problems went away.
