Ivy Bridge or Haswell?

[iAsuno]

so i am building a new rig soon and i am thinking if i should go with haswell. i want to overclock. and i think prices aren't going to be nice here. no haswell yet but i think ivy bridge won't drop and just a high price for haswell like what they did with the 770 here.  680 prices didn't change and 770 is a hundred dollars less than 780 with the 780 being at a reasonable price.

I'd say if you want to have fun overclocking with water/air, go sandy bridge or go haswell, there's really no point in buying ivy bridge anymore.

i don't want to go further from 4.4 so i thought ivy and sandy bridge cpus went ninjas here  :ph34r:

I think Haswell is worth it simply because of the amazing Z87 motherboards.  They're leaps and bounds better than even the Z77 motherboards.

 

And overclocking should be easier because vDroop isn't an issue anymore (from what I've read).  vDroop and Load Line Calibration is the most frustrating part of Sandy Bridge overclocking for me.
