IS this mobo and cpu compatible?

[Whatisgoingonherethen]

Here's the system:
Mobo- Gigabyte LGA 155 Z77-D3H
Cpu-Xeon E3 1220 V3
I am concerned there's a clash in the chipset/socket. If so can anyone recommend a motherboard about £60-£70 that can support this chip but is capable of okay overclocking?

No the motherboard is socket 1155 and the cpu is socket 1150.
Here's one that is and can OC.

Forgot the Xeons cpu's are multiplier locked so you'd have to OC with the BLCK and that will oc more than the CPU.

On the motherboard makers webpage will be a link to the cpu support list .

it will also list the BIOS revision that supports the cpu

The Xeon E3 1220 V3 is socket 1150, the Z77 board is socket 1155, they do not work together. Also, the Xeon E3 1220 V3 is not an unlocked CPU, no overclocking with it.
I'll suggest a Z97 motherboard along with an Intel Core i5-4670k

As mentioned above, if wanting to OC - then that CPU is out, so need to start anew on CPU/mobo selection, do you have a budget for the two?

£220-£230
I was thinking of an i5-4670k with a Gigabyte LGA 155 Z77-D3H. Would that work or are there better motherboards out there that support that also support the i5-4670k

Okay guys, motherboard wise I have brought it down to three options:
. Gigabyte LGA 155 Z77-D3H
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Ultra-Durable-Motherboard-Z77-D3H/dp/B007KHROSC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1403606140&sr=1-1&keywords=LGA+155+Z77-D3H

.GIGABYTE Z97 micro ATX
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K9R1NMS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

.GIGABYTE Z97-HD3
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GIGABYTE-Z97M-DS3H-LGA1150-Micro-ATX-Motherboard/dp/B00KBCIBTO/ref=sr_1_8?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1403606270&sr=1-8&keywords=z97

So yeah. The reason the micro atx board is in there is shearly due to the price. Is there much performance gain over the micro atx z97 when using the ATX z97? The case I will be using is the phantom 410, incase that matters

The 4670k is also socket 1150 so it not going to work on the z77(socket 1155). Also the 4690k would be a better choice as it faster and runs cooler and is usually only a little more than the 4670k. The z97 hd3 would be ok, performance between the 2 z97 boards will be the same.

So would these work?

Yes that would work quite well
