Hi all,
i would like to ask you if folowing components are compatible, will run smoothly and if it is good to use server procesor in gaming PC. If not i will go into i5-4590 or i5-4690 but i heard that because of new consoles. New next gen games might start to use multicores and xeon is a lot of cheeper than i7.

List of components:

Mobo: MSI H97 GAMING 3 - Intel H97
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231v3
VGA: MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
HDD: WD Caviar Blue EX - 1TB
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 - 120GB
PSU: Seasonic S12II-520 520W
FAN: SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224
CASE: Zalman Z9 Plus
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit

Thanks all of you for your opinions, suggestions or some components substitutions. And sorry for my possible spelling mistakes, english is not my native language.

Don't worry everything you've picked up is compatible with it. Xeons aren't bad for gaming either. They perform pretty much the same as an i7.
