What's with this latest trend of buying a Xeon E3 for desktops? Hate the Integrated Graphics too much?
The reason why Xeon E3 has no IGP is, because you put it in servers and usually you don't need a screen.
Better get i7-4770 + H87 or i7-4770K + Z87/Z97. What will you do during the period your discrete GPU goes bad? Spend Rs. 3000 more on a back-up GPU?

Don't get me wrong, as a moderator I don't appreciate the post on the previous page which harshil made. Was a bit too harsh.
But please understand and read what people are telling you.
It makes no sense to buy a
Z series motherboard with a processor that can't be overclocked. Buying
Z87/Z97 with XEON E3 and i7-4770 makes NO SENSE. IT IS WASTE OF MONEY.
If you want to buy Z87/Z97 motherboard, buy i7-4770K. NOTHING ELSE.
If you want to buy
XEON E3 or i7-4770, buy
H87/H97/B85 motherboard. NOTHING ELSE.
Believe me, I'm trying to help you. Not shout at you.
Just buy i7-4770K and any Z87/Z97 motherboard. Be done with it. You have the budget.
Or else buy i7-4770 with H87.
