Hi,

Intel Xeon E3-1225V2 or Intel Core i5-3570?

For gaming.

Mainboard MSI B75A-G43.

The winner is... ?

Tough call...200 Mhz more, or 2MB of cache more.

But, I bet that board doesn't support that CPU...and then I checked the QVL list. Now I am curious myself.

And that's why I'm asking you

I had a friend suggest a chip like that to me, then doing some research, the Xeon chips have many less PCI-E lanes or something. So I would say go for the 3570.

3570K. I thought you were making a statement with the link...

Id say the Xeon personally,they always seem to be better binned chips. Of course im not sure about overclocking if you plan to do that

Business-class board = no OC.

Igorius · Jan 2, 2013, 11:21 PM

So should I buy MSI Z77A-G43?

Only if it has added features you want. It will NOT enable any OC'ing above what the B75 board does, really, since your choice of chips are ones that do not have unlocked multipliers.

Igorius · Jan 6, 2013, 10:45 AM

Ok, I'll be buy the MSI Z77A-G43 and the I5 Ivy Bridge because it's more efficient than this Xeon.
I'm going to OC this i5-3570 (example like http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2438206).
