What's your current rig?

Why not Haswell or AMD?

Budget?

Intel I7-4930K with ASUS Rampage IV/V Extreme would make a good choice.

 

How long can you wait for the build? Haswell-E comes out in about a year with DDR4 support.

A 3930K with a RIVE? If you have the money! 

 I like that one, but i don't have a lot money

 

 

What's your current rig?

Why not Haswell or AMD?

Budget?

None, i sold it, the motherboard and CPU

I think AMD is poor, and haswell is the same thing IB only with new iGPU

More or less, 250 for the motherboard if is 2011 and 200 if is 1155.

AMD is not poor. Both AMD and Intel have their pros and cons and fit different usage scenarios.

Haswell performs about 10% better than Ivy.

What are you using the system for? Are you just looking for a cpu and mobo or a whole new system?

Sorry, it's for games and, adobe and autodesk suite.

250 if is for 2011 motherboard or 200 if is for 1155 motherboard. For the CPU the difference in dollars is 61 USD (in mexican)

It's not wise to allocate separate funds for each part. You get more out of your money if you balance you parts together.

What's your total budget?
