Okay, so the new Haswell CPUS are coming out at the beginning of June. Now, I was thinking about getting a 7870 GPU and a Core i5-3570k. But I'm wondering if the Haswells will be more expensive. The i5 I want is $189 @ Microcenter, but I'm not sure if the Haswells will be the same price at Microcenter. What do you guys think I should do?
Build now or wait for Haswell?

subjectiveness and speculation are what comes into play here, first look at what new features haswell will have(overclockability+lower idle power??) and decide if thats a key factor for you... then look at the costs and how important that is to you, then the speculative aspect of the costs, ie will ivy drop in price, will haswell be released at comparable price, can you get a good deal(microcenter) now that you may not get in the future with haswell, ect... past architecture releases may give some insight into those areas but when it comes down to it your own subjective view will matter most as this doesnt seem to be a gamechanging architecture change.(maybe just commit hard and convince yourself either way)
