Like mentioned, I have E3-1231V3. To see the details hover your mouse pointer over my Avatar.
I have that rig since October 2014.
E3-1231V3 is indeed a good all-rounder alternative for those who need i7 4790, do plan to OC, do not need iGPU and kinda short of cash.
So far, there is no games which can not be handled by E3-1231V3 properly. You name it Witcher 3, GTA V, etc.
Pair it with a strong GPU and you will have a really powerful rig for the price.
Just keep in mind, like I mentioned before i5 4690k/6600k is more or less on the same price range and this could be more interesting if gaming is the only one in your mind.
