What do you think about i3-4370 ? It seems this processor has very good single-thread performance and is quite affordable as well.

That's the processor I am looking at, as a matter of fact. That is, assuming that the next gen won't have anything better for my needs.
So let's see. Xeons are what I want now. Except for absurd prices. And that they aren't available. And that they don't overclock. And... And...

In a desktop overclocking is a large chunk of the reason why one would be concerned about TDP!
