wait for Haswell or get Ivy Bridge now?

Solution
i would go haswell (4th gen) just for the motherboard's. the new Z87 have better network ports with some fetures that can help reduce ping/lag in games, support for more usb 3.0 ports (so future key, mouse, external storage, etc) and native support for 6x sata 3 ports (6Gbs sata ports). which helps you get the most out of you HDD/SSD :)

overall when it come to games there is not much between the ivybridge and haswell. so when i built my new pc last week i went haswell just for the motherboard tech :)
