Posted March 22, 2014 It was cheaper and didn't have integrated graphics, i don't see the point in paying for something i won't use. The Xeon was 280 vs 360 for the i7, the money I saved went towards upgrading other components fixed the gallery, how do i change the title?easy mistake to make but funny though. were are you located because I played 220$ for my Xeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 22, 2014 Wait...in Canada: Xeon 1230v3: $259.99 4 cores 8 threads i5 4670K: $254.99 4 cores 4 threads i7 4770: $324.99 4 cores 8 threads (200MHz high boost) Would overclocking yield that much better performance in professional apps and games? Because the Xeon is looking like a steal right now! Awesome build sir!

Because the Xeon is looking like a steal right now! Awesome build sir! I live in Australia so the prices are higher: Xeon 1230v3: $300 i5 4670k: $275 i7 4770: $355 I don't think a i5 would overclock to the same performance as the Xeon, a cherry picked one might. If your curious about the Xeon's performance, it is the same as a 3770k. Anyway i don't think it is worth the extra heat and power usage overclocking to save $25, and for you $5. Id go with the Xeon again any day. I got my Xeon for $290 so i'm happy, the only thing is make sure your bios version is compatible, as it was released after the i5's and i7's. were are you located because I played 220$ for my Xeon Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia the Xeon is the same as a 4770 with a .1mhz down clock. Also in America it is definitely worth it. Picked mine up for 220$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
