For example, the i5-4670K and Xeon E3-1225 V3 are very similarly priced. However, I have yet to see one in a build log. Does it have to do with the way they overclock?
-
Some Xeons are decent for overclocking, but a lot Xeon mobos don't support it. What it really comes down to is marketing. Xeons are marketed toward servers. A Xeon would work perfectly fine for gaming, but it isn't advertised in places where gamers go.

Aren't Xeons mainly meant for servers?
-
Me dun no. Xeon made specific for server not game.
-
Because they're used for servers and they're not necessary for desktops.
-
Because the Xeon CPU family is intended for server use.
-
Games aren't nearly CPU-intensive enough to warrant server-quality CPUs.
-
People probably don't use LGA 1150 Mobos.

I don't have any knowledge of PCs so good luck with this.
