Is there any Xeon that outperforms the 4670 around the same price?

[xaviersykora]

Hi I edit video and images, I record and play lots of games, and I am wondering if there is a Xeon or ANY CPU that is on the 1155/1150 socket that outperforms it in editing but can still perform in games?

If it's not the e3 1230 v2 or v3, no.

Don't get a Xeon for gaming

I edit a LOT.

[Bluejay0]

I'm also a big editor.

 

Either way an i5 is still a good chip and can overclock for the extra performance.

Yes Xeons can be used for gaming but they are designed for wokstation and server use.

If you are gaming still get an i5/8350/8320

I'm not getting an OC board

I'm leaning towards the 8320 and an OC board.

If you can, the board will be a good idea. You can do what most editors do and

 

get an i5/8350/8320

 

if you aren't tied to Intel

I was just wondering

I can't afford an OC board and I'm not tied to intel

Got get AMD then

[xaviersykora]

Got get AMD then

Probably will but I'm going for a small form factor build and I was going to go with ITX but I can go with the Phenom M and a mATX board.

ITX and mATX will be tricky for AMD but there are boards. Just not ITX to my knowledge.

[CyberneticTitan]

8320 + Any good AM3+ Mobo + Hyper 212

 

Overclock dat to the max.

I know I can't get a 900 chip set on mATX though

[Mentalguy]

the xeon e3-1230v3 will do fine

[WoodenMarker]

the xeon e3-1230v3 will do fine

It's about $50 more than the i5 and $100 more than the 8320.

True, but it has the power of a 4770
