Opinions on CPU

Good afternoon.

I'm looking to get some input on which CPU to get. I'm looking at the following:

i5-4590

i5-4690k

Xeon E3-1231V3

The Xeon seems interesting and can be had for only $10 more than the 4690K.

My main purpose of my build is kind of a hybrid. Not dedicated gaming, but want to be able to play games (newer ones included, i.e. Dragon's Age:Inquisition) without having to worry about whether they will work.

I will have a dedicated GPU (thinking of the GTX 960 Gaming 4G GeForce GTX 960 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16) so the graphics on the CPU is not a concern.

I'm leaning towards the Xeon but am just looking for some additional info/thoughts.

I have looked at all the benchmarks, etc. and am now looking for real world thoughts.

Will be more than likely purchasing tomorrow (5/25)

Thanks.
