Thanks ASHISH65. I will go with i5k + 270X.

Wouldn't Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 priced same as i5-4670K make more sense since inbuilt GPU will rarely be used and overclocking with H87 board will anyways won't be possible?

Actually, retailers will begin to carry out orders on January 14. Shipments will begin before then though, this quarter in fact (Q4 2013), along with new FM2+ motherboards. By March, we should have it here in India; along with the real-time performance benchmarks. That's when I plan to get my rig. Just sayin'

We will get real time benchmarks on 14th,Jan itself but in India we might get it only after March.

This seems better deal if gaming is concern because i dont see R9 270X wll hold for Another 2 years for high setting at 1080p. (IMO). and Non k i5 is quite capable IMO

I am contemplating to buy this config which might be better if games in the future support hyper threading.

Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 -16000,
Gigabyte B85M-D3H -6000,
Asus R9 270X 2GB -16500,
APC 1100VA UPS -6000,
CM Hyper 103 -1800,
CM 120mm 3 RED LED fans -1300,
CM 140mm 2 RED LED fans -1400.
TOTAL -49,000.

Please check that Xeon E3-1230 V3 is available or not. I thought its available, but @ASHISH65 says it's not available in India.

Is there any performance gain in the Xeon 1150 CPU? If not can I go with the above mentioned CPU+MB? If the price difference is not much between the two then which one should I go with v2 or v3?

check the availability of both, first.

I am not sure if product from Amazon will give us warranty in India. There sure is benefit of V3 over V2.

I am not sure if product from Amazon will give us warranty in India. There sure is benefit of V3 over V2.

there is no considerable performance improvement for v3 over v2. just 5-10% and that too because of the architecture change from ivybridge to haswell.
if v3 is not available, get v2 eyes closed. getting v3 from abroad is really a bad idea. you will not get warranty. if you ever face any problems, then you are wasting huge amount of money although processors have quite long life and stability.(especially the server grade ones).
so getting v2 is not a bad deal either.

 

[ASHISH65]

go with v2.

 

[bssunilreddy]

check the availability of both, first.

I found there is no performance difference between the 2 other than chipset change and more over v3 TDP is 80watts compared to v2 TDP which is 65watts.v2 is available in *amazon.com for $229.99.It might come for 14.5k. As for the MB I chose Gigabyte H77-DS3H for Rs.6800 from *flipkart.com
Its like getting a i7 1155 CPU which is under clocked with no overclocking but at a cheaper price and as this is Xeon it lasts longer and does not need a beefier cooler. So here is my config at last:

Intel Xeon E3 1230 v2 -14500,
Gigabyte H77-DS3H -6800,
Asus R9 270X 2GB -16400,
APC 1100VA UPS -5700,
CM Hyper 101 -900,
CM 120mm 3 RED LED fans -1300,
CM 140mm 2 RED LED fans -1400.
TOTAL -47,000.

 

[ASHISH65]

Xeon E3 1230 v2 is @ 16k not 14k

 

[bssunilreddy]

Xeon E3 1230 v2 is @ 16k not 14k

Where? I found it on *www.amazon.com/Intel-E3-1230V2-LGA...7809925&sr=1-1&keywords=Intel+Xeon+E3+1230+v2 only.
What if I buy the CPU+MB+GPU from *amazon.com and can I avail service here in India if any problem arises for the respective products.
Is there any customs duties to be paid if I buy from amazon.com? I simply don't know thats why.
