Hello

I am building a computer.

Is it worth buying a 8350 cpu or i5 3570K or the i7 3770K with Haswell coming out soon and the 1155 boards are end of life?

Like Chibinho said, new socket coming with Haswell.

If you don't need a new one now I'd wait and see how Haswell performance turns out. It is supposed to release
in less than 3 months. I'm guessing it'll be on the market late June. I'd wait and see.

Wait for Haswell. It's a new socket, so you will have the Future Proof for 2 or more years. No point in buy a socket in his last 2 or 3 months. But if you go For amd, You have a future prood socket, the AM3+.
