Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz vs Intel Core i5-4690 3.5 GHz

Solution
The Xeon is awesome. I highly recommend it. Don't bother with ECC.

I never recommend the i5 4690 anyway considering you can get the i5 4590 for $20-30 cheaper.

Xeon all the way, especially if you get the non k version of the i5. Xeon has 8 logical cores mean while i5's have only 4. The clockspeed is almost the same and since both are non overclockable. Xeon is more stable and better quality, has bigger L3 cache, and faster too if i remember right.
All the points except the sligh clock speed diff is in the favour of xeon.
