I'm looking to spend 200 pounds or just over on a CPU and I'm stuck if I should get a Xeon or i5? I will be doing heavy gaming, heavy streaming, heavy video editing, medium 3d rendering and heavy adobe work as well (Photoshop, premier, after effects etc) so what do you think? Leave the suggestions below :)

The e3 Xeons are great at all tasks. The 1231v3/1241v3 will perform identically the the 4770.
The 1241v3 is not worth the extra money over the 1231v3. The 1245v3/1246v3 may be worth a little extra though since they have integrated graphics.
