it is FCLGA1155 socket cpu and based on older gen ivybridge architecture.
E3-1230 v3 is based on new lga 1150 socket. both v2 and v3 are not same.

Yups, V3 is based on LGA1150 socket. That's why OP won't have to change board, just the processor.

It does not have iGPU, so is it better suited for gaming also along with i5 4670k and also can we overclock it like the k series CPU?

hyperthreaded cores does not provide any considerable advantage in gaming as of now. i dont know about future games whether they support hyperthreading or so..
if you are going with discrete gpu, it is a far better option. whenever your gpu goes kaput, just get a low cost gpu at that time being.
it has locked multiplier, which means it can not be overclocked by changing the multiplier.

Which means as of now for gaming this CPU is not at all required.Thanks for clarifying my doubts.

^ because games do not Utilize more than 4 cores.

Hyperthreading get used when games need more cores - eg of Pentium g2010 vs i3 3220 in games like far cry 3

And games need to be coded for hyperthreading.

yep the cpu will be upgraded after a long time and the recent new game releases like watch dogs and the division will utilize more cpu power so future proofing seems sensible

Since Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 is non k series CPU so any B85/H87 MB is good as Z87 is only for overclocking.I think Gigabyte B85M-D3H @ 6k is best.
Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 is not available any where in India either online or offline.If anybody have any idea as to where to buy this please help me...

ask any local distributor.. sometimes, it is possible to arrange one but at the cost of time.
