That would probably be more useful as a gaming computer as well as altcoin miner. Mining bitcoins with it would be useless

check here
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
then go here
http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator
and enter your hashrate
Conclusion if difficulty will not increase you will make around 0.00323683 BTC/month
If I'm wrong correct me please!

6990x2
that means 2(two) pieces of hradware
you may want to get a better cpu
someone posted here a link and he makes around 3.8$ in 24h worth of altcoins while mining
here is the link to his experiment

For BTC GPU is the key but for the altcoins mentioned in that article you need CPU because there are 2 different types of mining

Here are several changes you should consider:
1. ) Scythe Kabuto II CPU Cooler $46.99 (better cooler and cheaper)
http://www.amazon.com/Scythe-Kabuto-Cooler-Socket-SCKBT-2000/dp/B00G9YBQG8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1391659367&sr=8-5&keywords=Scythe+Cooler
2.) Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800) 240-Pin SDRAM KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX $79.99 (The extra $29 bucks is worth it for an extra 4gb of ram)
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-Modules-KHX1600C9D3K2-8GX/dp/B0037TO5C0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391659517&sr=8-1&keywords=kingston+ddr3+8gb
3.) Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply $87.24 (slightly better power supply)
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Certified/dp/B008RJZQSW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1391659662&sr=8-3&keywords=750w+bronze
4.) Corsair Graphite Series Black 230T Solid Panel Compact Mid-Tower Computer Case (CC- 9011036-WW) $69.99 (There are better corsair cases to be had for an extra $30.00)
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Graphite-230T-Mid-Tower-9011036-WW/dp/B00EUY58OA/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1391659778&sr=8-15&keywords=Corsair+Case

Exactly!
He did with i7 920 2.67Ghz with a CPU benchmark of 5008 in 24 hours around 3.8$
and said that if you have benchmark 10000 you probability will make double what he made
