I just had a flawless experience with an Asrock B75 Pro3-M and Xeon E3-1230 V2. It was $100 cheaper than the 3770K, but gave me the same 4-Cores/8-Threads, and at 3.3GHz/3.7GHz is only negligibly slower.
69W. Does not overclock. Does not have the video core, though, so losing Quicksync might be a dealbreaker.
Premiere can max it out, but nothing else has ever gone over 60% for more than two seconds.
(Way too much CPU for Photoshop. All PS ever used was Raid-0 80% SSD's for a scratchdisk, and a single mechanical drive easily kept up with every other step.
