Xeon Phi is not general purpose processor.It is highy specialized coprocessor intendend to off-load main CPU from highly parallel tasks.If you want to experiment with such a accelerators the better option is to buy high-end GPU and learn to program it.

Moreover if you plan to add Xeon Phi to your desktop motherboard there is very high probability that it will not work.Xeon Phi needs special BIOS  for it.
