My friend would like me to build him a desktop, and he can spend around $800 on it. Now, I could build one with a 3570k right now, or I could wait for Haswell.
What do you guys think? Haswell comes out in June correct? Have there been any benchmarks released? I thought I read somewhere, maybe on Toms, that it looked like performance would be mostly improved in the iGpu department, not in CPU performance.
Another thing to consider is that I can get a 3570K for $189 at Microcenter right now, and $40 off a motherboard, so I could get a Z77 for around $50-$60. And I don't know if they are going to have that kind of deal for Haswell, or if it will even be in steady supply until July.
