According to this forum post and this spec sheet, the Xeon CPUs are not compatible. However the i7-3770 has been used successfully. Having said that this YouTube video shows a Xeon upgrade so I would say a big maybe.

If you have a Xeon E3-1220 Sandy Bridge CPU, it will not work.
If you have a Xeon E3-1220 v2 Ivy Bridge CPU, it will work.
Whenever upgrading a later released compatible CPU to an earlier release system, update BIOS to the latest version would help with compatibility.

I can't comment on the R7 340X without knowing what form factor/size your 3010 is.
