Why Xeon???

>>61967396
Because I heard they're as fast as i7s for an i5s money. Just want something better than my oced g3258

only ~$10 difference between E3-1286 v3 and 4790K on aliexpress.
Might as well get the overclockable part.

Whatever you may save will be massively offset by the mobo cost. Just fund a nice used 4790 or whatever.

Xeons are cheap and good multithread, most of the time.

Remember that the E3 you want is locked and cannot be overclocked but does come with ECC functionality, so if you're hosting sensitive data then it might be a good choice.

I picked one up for 25 dollars from some dude on Craigslist. The mobos are really fucking rare and you may even need to preform a psu mod. I think its still worth the money if you are willing to bother with tracking down all the parts.

Buying CPU with TIM'd IHS and with no retail availabity?

Used 2500k (or 2600k or 2700k) + P8P67 Deluxe.
