Need help choosing a CPU for my gaming build

[Mr gir]

Hello everyone. 

I'm looking at three CPUs for my new gaming PC but I can't decide which one to chose. I will be using a GTX 760 graphics card with the CPU. I want to play games that are out at the moment like next car game,DayZ, Assassins creed black flag, Dirt showdown, grid autosport and many more. I would like to play these games at high/ultra settings at 1080p. I also want to play games that will be coming out in the future .

Reasons I'm considering the AMD FX 8350
Some games I want to play have recommended requirements that say "Intel i7 or AMD bulldozer"
Higher clock speed
Will probably preform better in future games as they start to take advantage of more threads/cores 
I can overclock it however I would be nervous about doing it manually because I have never overclocked before. is there any software that can do it for me?

Reasons I'm considering the Intel i5 4670 (non K)
It is on a new socket so it will probably be easier to upgrade in a few years as more CPUs use this socket.
Will probably have better performance in single threaded applications and games that use one or two cores (but they are mainly strategy games and I don't like them). 

Reasons I'm considering the Intel xeon E3-1230v3
The same reasons as the i5 as well as...
i7 4770 performance for £20 more than the i5 4670
Hyper threading

What one should I get for my new gaming PC.and what one will last me the longest. If you have any of these CPUs can you please let me know what you think of it.

Thank you for your help

well, for games, the i5 4670k will out perform the 8350 usually, however the 8350 can play any of todays games. the i7 4770k or xeon e3 1230 v3 will perform the same as a i5 4670k in games right now, but in the future games will be able to use hyperthreading better. for the most part, 8350<i5 4670K<Xeon E3 1230 v3<i7 4770k. also, if you want it to last long, pick up a 1150 cpu, such as the 3 talked about, and a z97 board.

As of today, games that utilize more cores put the 8350 around par with the i5 4670k. It's not the 2x (8 cores vs 4 cores) performance some people theorize.

Also, not all cores are equal. You can't compare the 8350s clock speeds to Intels. It's not apples to apples.

With that said, the i5 4670k beats the 8350 80% of the time.

A AMD FX processor is generally pretty easy to overclock, just read up on it a bit before trying.
For single threaded games/programs the i5 wins out, although Intel has a bad habit of changing one or two pins every 2nd CPU generation so that you have to upgrade both your CPU and motherboard.
