Given the cost difference, yes I think it is worth it, as you can get a far better GPU on the money saved. If you are concerned with lack of IGP, you can go with a 1245/1246v3. Still cheaper, just not as much. That or go to Ebay and pick up the cheapest PCI-E GPU you can find.

If you overclock, go with the i7, otherwise, go with the xeon (which lets you save a bit more money by taking a h instead of a z board).
Chances of your gpu dying are quite small. I've had that once on my 9800 due to a manufactury issue, other than that, never heard of it. I still have some 20 years old gpu's here, working like on day one.

You do make a good point.
The only other thing even though the Xeon is a tad bit slower and its not unlocked they are pretty much the same.
You can always buy a Cheap 20 card like a GT210 as a backup just so you can use it. or something a bit more powerful if you want.
