Solution
Do you need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse?
Where do you live?
Haswell is slightly faster than Ivy Bridge, but Ivy Bridge can overclock better because Haswell runs hotter when overclocked. When both overclock, they should both run the same but I wouldn't get Ivy Bridge now because LGA 1155 is now dead because new builders are going to go for the newer Haswell.
