The 1231v3 by a landslide.

For gaming the i5 for rendering the Xeon. Also depending how much you want to render you may want to go with the Xeon E5 2670. It has 8 hyperthreaded cores and goes for about 60-70 bucks on Ebay. I have one and I love it. 

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

My Work in Progress PC 2.0 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/540583-xeon-build-20-code-name-xenox (Hopefully this one boots.)

Yeah, for just gaming the 6600K is great and fine. Though for what OP wants. The ht cores help tremendously.
