Socket 1150 Xeon

I wanted a xeon so I could swap them out and render what my clients have for me, sometimes some 3D programs or whatever they ask me to do. Having the xeon on hand will help me with my processing. The i5 will be an everyday CPU, and the xeon will be my weekend CPU.
Unless you need a particular feature that's exclusive to the xeon, you'd be better off selling the 4670k to and get better performance with a 4770k or 4790k. The e3-1230 v3 which is probably the mode widely available won't provide much if any performance over a moderately oc'ed 4670k. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Xeon-E3-1230-v3-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4690K/m2171vs2432
There's a bit more of a difference with the e3-1276 v3 but it's not worth the price compared to the i7. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Xeon-E3-1276-v3-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4690K/m25180vs2432
