Which Haswell are you getting ?

I was gonna go for the i7-4770k but having seen the benchies think I'm gonna get an 15-4670k. The I7 has about 15% better performance in games but costs 50% more

My sig is a bit wrong (updated it now!) I have a gtx 660ti graphics card. My i5-750 is already overclocked to 3.5ghz.

I'm for sure skipping Haswell. I was going to wait for it but my local microcenter had an i7 3770K on sale for $229 a couple of months ago so I decided to get it (I'm glad I did because I would of had to spend $279 for the 4770K and maybe $20-30 more for a equivalent motherboard).

The next generation consoles aren't running that great of CPU's and games tend to favor GPU's the most so I suspect that most people with a highly clocked 2xxx/3xxx i5 or higher will hold off on upgrading for quite some time (espically if there not enthuasist).

Games will get more demanding in the next year or two in terms of CPU but then again games will get more efficient/better programmed for Quad cores

Haswell isn't worth it for anyone who already has Sandy/Ivy.

As mentioned above, you are better off upgrading your GPU.

To be honest back in Febuary I was planning on getting the 4770k with the GTX 780 but decided to go with the 3770k with a Titan.

Have a 3770k I'll probably be rocking for a while. I am thinking of upgrading my Radeon HD 6870 to a GTX 770.

since i have a I7 3960x and a 690gtx i will skip this gen..........

Yeah anyone with a 3770k/3930k and up has no need to upgrade IMO.

But, I have a 2500k, which is still damned good and overclocks very well. (5.0-5.2GHz)

I was still thinking of pulling the trigger on 4770k with an 1150 mobo, but from what I keep reading about it, it's not really that great on overclocking. For the price, I may as well just save $$ and get a 3770k. *sigh* What to do ? lol

I'm going to stick with my 2500k. I'll probably do a big upgrade within the next year and have my CPU, GPU, and mobo replaced.

I'll think about it longer and see how those upgrading to Haswell are doing with them. I'm in no rush, I can wait. ;)

The only way I'd get a 4770k is if my Mobo died, but then again if that happened I'd most likely go for a X79 and 3960Kacanofcoke

None, I'm waiting for Skylake.

Why the hell would you upgrade from a 2500k?

My main reason to upgrade was to give this CPU/Mobo/RAM to wife and it would be her way overdue upgrade from an old AMD Athlon X2 5600. (It's a pre-built HP) It's definitely showing it's age.

I want to build a computer, so im not upgrading like a bunch of you guys. Should I get a Haswell? I was thinking of the i5-3570k cause it seems like a good cpu for the price, but I know nothing about haswells and they seem new so what I find on the web sounds inconclusive. so far, i just read that the haswell is not much better for gaming.

if i had to buy one or the other, right now, i would go with the i5 4670k. but i would buy it from microcenter @ $199.99 (better prices). http://www.microcenter.com/product/413251/Core_i5_4670K_34GHz_Socket_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor .buccomatic
