Yes for a high end gaming build a Xeon E3-1231 V3 is a very good option as it is just an i7 4790k without the integrated GPU and it cost less.

I think it is a great CPU for only a little bit more than the i5 4690k. You get pretty much i7 performance for $60 less. Here would be the one I would go with.

I have wanted a 1231v3 for quite some time. Just haven't had the money. I live close enough to Microcenter, that I can get a 4790k and motherboard, for about the same cost, though.
