Intel i5 4690k vs xeon 1231 v3 vs i7 4770k

[deepak59]

Guys help me pick one of the cpu.Which one is better for gaming.Im not planning to Over clock any thing now.
i cant afford the 4770k..but if gives the maximun bang for the buck i ll go for it and take a gtx 960 insted of gtx 970!

xeon or i7 only if you wanan run SLI, otherwise i5 4690k or even i5 4460

If you dont plan to OC then

Xeon E3 1231 V3 is the best option for you

 

this xeon = i7 4770 but it doesent have that integrated graphics and that is the reason why it is cheaper.

 

OCd i5 4690k would be better for gaming. But non OCd i5 4690k makes no sense over that Xeon since they cost the same.

Go with the i5 for gaming...

[Tedster]

Strictly for gaming: The 4690k and the 970.

[Vek1313]

i5 for gaming

Xeon or i7 for gaming, video rendering, streaming, etc.

The Xeon and i7 offer maybe 2 more FPS in games.

Since you're not planning on overclocking, then I'd personally pick the Xeon.

xeon is always faster than an i5 in gaming especially when DX12 comes out

I'd go for the Xeon

i5 or xeon, because the extra cores (threads) on the i7 wont be worth the frankly large disparity between the 960 and the 970...

Go with i5 and GTX 970, difference in the performance of GTX 970 and GTX 960 is big. You don't need an i7 for gaming.

Yeha..the DX12 will it make the difference useing the extra threads and give any performance boost??

Not with older games, probably not with crappy console ports and definitely not when DX12 JUST launched...

 

It might, in the far future...

The Xeon has the same as the i7. It's the same as a locked 4770. Personally I'd get the Xeon. It will perform better than the i5.

if i over clocked? i dont know much about over clocking..so i woud like to be on the safe side.Is overclocking safe?
