Yeah. Going with intel in about a week. My 8350 isn't satisfying me anymore.

Ahhhh. I would like to say Halo: Combat evovled, but then Ghost Recon is also up there. Both for original Xbox.

I'm in the same situation as you trying to switch over to intel.. Thinking about either picking up an i5 4690k or i7 4790k, would really like the 4790k. Seeing as everybody says that an i5 will be ideal if I'm just gaming has me really torn between the two. I don't really render, nor do heavy production with my pc at all but it would be nice just to have that i7 haha. Overall if your just gaming an i5 should be plenty, but if you have the money why not go for the i7?

I'm actually about to switch to intel as well. I'm just waiting for some good deals to come around. My 8320 was good to me but intel has the performance i want for gaming.

Powerful yes. My rig has been well to me, but i just want something that will give me more. z97 will be compatible with broadwell when it does come out correct?

Thanks for the reply, but are xeons unlocked? Because I also like to get in there and mess with my build. I'm relatively new to the pc community, but loved overclocking my fx.

Hey guys. I'm looking into building a z97 gaming build. The system might be in for some editing down the line. My build right now - fx8320 (4.5ghz) cooled with h80i - crosshair v formula z - 8gb of 1866 ram - r9 280x - 1tb black wd x2 - kingston hyper x 240gb My concern right now is that I've been hearing that broadwell might be releasing late this year or early next year. Would it be wise to upgrade to a z97 build, or should i wait it out?
