Just one question...!!!
We buy i5-k series + a good cooler(2-3k)+A good overclocking board(+3k) all in all we spend more then whats needed for i7-4770+B85 board so does it worth at all
and obviously some problems of overclocking :'D
^ where did u source the proccy from ?
as per it depot price, its same category as i5 k series (~16k), the i5 are probably are better then xeon when overclocked as i read somewhere.
what u think ? i5 4670k vs E3 1230. both 16.5k.
Overclocked i5 would be slightly better in gaming only, but then you will need to invest at least 10k more for a good cooler and z87 mobo than a Xeon and B85 board. That extra 10k can get you a much better graphics card which is much more important than the CPU for gaming.
dont Xeon cpu's have a 1 year warranty compared to 3 years of the i5 and i7's ?
The problem with Intel Xeon E3 1230V2 compatible MB is that it does not have sufficient SATA3 ports.2 is not at all sufficient.Can anybody specify any 1155 compatible MB which has SATA3 ports more than 2.I mean all the MB's have only 2 ports.
In the long run Xeon is best when compared to i5.
Guys, looks like E3 1230 is a very good choice. Any similar Xeon processor for the LGA1150 socket?

Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 is a similar CPU for LGA1150 socket. The only difference between v2 and v3 is that v3 has iGPU which is a waste but v2 supporting MB's does not have sufficient SATA3 ports & does not have hyper-threading.Max LGA1155 MB's get is 2xSATA3 & 3xSATA2 otherwise v2 is an excellent CPU in the long run and also consumes less power and have hyper-threading.

Both 1230 V2 (which I own) and V3 have hyperthreading. About the SATA3 ports, yes lga 1155 boards have 2 native ports, but there are many boards with extra ports via 3rd party SATA controllers.
Most of the boards are Z series where as Xeon requires just H series or B series.
That doesn't mean you cannot use Xeon in a z series chipset board.
2 x Sata 3 ports are more than enough. Sata 3 is only useful if you are installing SSD,for HD it's no use
Who installs more than 2 ssd ???
