Get the i5 4690K + a H97 motherboard. It will be better in the long run as performance is almost same(if not better in the Intel platform) while consuming less power as well. You have to extend the budget a bit though.

because of price difference 1230v3 is 17500 1231v3 is 18545 where as i get 4690k for 16k so suggest me a good mobo for overclocking

1. Overclocking won't make much difference for gaming
3. Thje overall cost will eventually shoot up more than Xeon+B85 board
