friend this is just a myth processors doesn't arrive with problems once its been reviewed or benchmarked it can be used without any problems, yes i agree with you that not a day-night difference between haswell and previous gen [ivy bridge] if you were already using i5 ivy bridge or even sandy bridge that is 2nd gen i would have not recommended you to upgrade but...

Whats the point? not really worth it tbh...
the i5 3570K is commonly used, fast, reliable, why go with a new haswell? the speeds and performance are very similar..
Plus i dont use new processors because there is bound to be problems with them a few months down the line, so ill wait till theyve been used alot so there guaranteed to be safe

You could find Haswell processors from $190 (Intel Core i5 4400-4500) and they're a much better investment than the 3500 since they basically double everything in benchmark tests. The Intel HD 4600 is also an amazingly good on-board graphics that you can use alongside your GTX.
