Guys I need some advice. I thought Haswell would be going in the new rig I'm building for gaming and getting into more serious overclocking...now I don't know what to do. 

 

1. Should I go with the Sandy Bridge, but then sacrifice newer motherboards?

2. Should I save up and go with the new Extreme edition CPU's?

3. Should I attempt to delid the Haswell chips? (I'm new to building, so am *VERY* uncomfortable with this)

 

It may be getting old but Sandy Bridge is still a very good chip and especially for overclocking but I'd probably go with Haswell

 

De-lidding I wouldn't recommend it and the extreme edition CPU's are a waste of money, you get a slight performance increase but most of the extra money is for the Extreme name
