Hi folks!

Im currently building a new PC and got my Setup finished, except of the CPU. I googled a lot but didn´t find anything any benchmark etc. for those CPUs.

So wich one would be best?

Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 246€ 3,4GHz
Intel Core i5-4690 207€ 3,5GHz

I heard HT and more than 2 Cores are not necessary but I´m not a pro at this Topic so wich one should i choose.

Will it run 60FPS in most games? Also 4 Gamers Super Smash Bro´s in 60 FPS?

BTW: OC is because of the Budget no Option (Buying a Z97 Board and 4690k)

If your budget is low and you don't know about bios update , you should avoid all new Haswell refresh chips : i5 4690 , Xeon E3-1231 , i5 4790.....
These chips will not run on older Haswell boards such as H81 , B85 without bios update . H97 and Z97 are the only two types these chips will run on
h97 and Z97 are more expensive than H81 , B85
About your question : which one is better ?
I say the Xeon is always better . Why ? the Xeon has Hyperthreading , it will blow away any i5 in multithreaded app . 100MHz difference in speed doesn't matter at all
Xeon E3 1230 + H81 or B85 should be cheaper than E3-1231 + H97
Q : Will it run 60FPS in most games?
A : Yes
Q : Also 4 Gamers Super Smash Bro´s in 60 FPS?
A : If it's you versus 3 PCs then it won't be the problem . If other players are controlled by human (you're playing with 3 friends or your family) then idk

He said he's getting a Z97 in the original post,  so haswell is no issue.  Xeon should blow away the i5 in emulation workloads (as it caters to the processing style of Xeon's more), but Xeon is more specialized in the types of workloads it is optimized for.  General use i would say i5 is better,  and some native games will also see better performance on the i5.  Raw speed isn't the only comparison, as the two processors have architecture differences,  and are intended for different workloads.  Both are probably enough to smash normal emulation,  but OP needs to decide what he would use his computer for mostly.

So you could understand his English ....Unfortunately , I couldn't

This Xeon is not the same type of Xeon you're talking about . Xeon 1230V3 is i7 4770 without Hyperthreading and minus 100MHz . Basically , it's the same chip
I don't know what native game you're talking about but the Xeon will blow away i5 in any game
See Benchmark here : Xeon 1230V3 vs i7 4770k

Yes. That'll be the best option if you want to do gaming, because if you ever feel like you're getting a CPU bottleneck you can easily overclock for more speed.

The i5 has a significantly better track record than the Xeon, especially that late of a generation (4690k is an excellent choice for this application) although you might want to reconsider that MB... you won't realize the full potential of the processor, better to get a more expensive board and have the ability to OC. Also, unless you have a dedicated GPU, that mobo won't do you justice.

EDIT: The wiki says that the i3 runs SSBB at playable speeds, so 4 player should be no problem for what you've got.
