I hope I don't have to change/upgrade any part in 3 years and might buy another graphic card in 4th year.

Thanks all in advance

Don't expect to be able to buy a 670 in the next 4 years.

Normally it's either you buy it now or you don't.

By the next 4 years, there will be a GTX 1070 or something. 670 will be have been phased out by next year or two.

you dont want to put a server chip on a retail mb. some features of the z77 chipset will be turned off.

look down on the bottom of the page at the server chip warning.

I honestly doubt that the features that will be unavailable will impact performance. I looked at the asus site, and didn't easily find any info on what might be impacted. I do know that that Xeon doesn't perform as well as a 3570k for gaming, but for programming, it's one hell of a buy in comparison.

I recall reading that maybe that Xeon would fit better in a z68 board though? Can't remember where I saw that unfortunately.

xeon fits well with the h77 board since it can use pcie 3.0 but cannot overclock
