I'm stuck on which CPU to get because I know Haswell is the "next-gen CPU" but I have heard that they OC poorly and run hot... should I stay with the "dead"/outdated socket LGA 1155 for a cooler CPU Temps? or is that stuff about the high temps on haswell not true?

Why don't you take a look at the latest Tom's "Best Gaming CPU's" article. Then I am sure you can make your own decision. There is also a recent story on big air coolers you will find informative. Lastly yes the older form factor runs cooler, O.C.'s better and costs less. The latest is not always the greatest. Some of this does depend on your use and what you want the system for. The newer integrated graphics is better.

a little bit hotter than 3770k but i wouldnt upgrade from 3770k to 4770k thats just a huge waste, i would buy 4770k only if it was a little bit pricey than 3770k and if it was for a new build but from 3770k to 4770, nah... waste

Get the 3770k which is bttr overclocker than 4770k

Reasons to go for ivy bridge

1.haswell is just 5-10% faster than ivy
2.haswell is more heat producin than ivy so better clocks with ivy
3.there is no news that the 1150 would support later series of processors (broAdwel)
