Hey guys,

I've been hearing a lot recently about the new Haswell chips. I am currently using an i5-760 @ 2.8ghz and think it's time for upgrade to something beefier. I am debating whether or not to go with a i7-3770k or to wait for the new Haswell chips to be released. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to hardware and would like to know if a Haswell CPU would be compatible with my MSI P55A-G55 http://ca.msi.com/product/mb/P55A-G55.html MOBO?

Any recommendations about which to go for? Also does anyone know the approximate/expected price range of the new CPUs?

Thanks!

Haswell was release more than a week ago and uses the new LGA1150 socket which is not compatible with anything that came before it.

For prices, most models are priced roughly the same as the Ivy Bridge models they replace in each given market segment, give or take a few bucks depending on vendor.
