PSU:700W (Certified)
Case:Thermaltake


Option 2:
Cpu:Intel® CORE® i5-4670K 3,4Ghz

The 4670 will have 5 to 15% more performance, depends if you want to spend a bit more, in uk the 2600 3570 and 4670 are all the same price.

You could make up the money getting a 600 Watt psu instead if you are not going sli in future.

I was thinking exactly the same and had a strong hand on the haswell but now I noticed that the mobo offered with the haswell is about 30$ cheeper so it does not support virtual mvp and sli if I would like to place another 760 in the future... so maybe I should go with the benefits offered by the ivy MB.. damn this is a hard call.
p.s I live in Lithuania/europe for that matter so as I mentioned earlyer I cannot change parts in the options presented to me exept GPU (whick I elieve is a perfect call for the money)

sound good., bht I would prefer sticking with those two options, however I believe that in a couple of years I will oc it if it will give me any gaming benefits but anyway both ivy and haswell seem to be the same at oc'ing the only reason why I'm hasitAtin is because I cant really pick which one of the motberboards I should go for and is the virtual mvp make a great difference with the current gpu for games? because if the IB config (option 1) will have better performance in games that the HB (option 2) then im going for that one cuz I believe the IB config Is a bit more future prof chz thats what I really care for.
p.s srr for spelling mistakes I dnt usually type like this but im currently ussing my samsung instead of a pc and its rly a pane in the ass for typing...

There's not a lot of difference in performance between Haswell and Ivy. The big difference lies in that Ivy Bridge is the end of the production line for socket LGA 1155, where a new socket begins with Haswell and that's LGA 1150. If you ask me you should always get the latest hardware you can get to ensure your system has a longer life span.

very good point my friend,but how about the motherboard it self doesn't support virtual MVP as i mentioned earlier and doesn't have SLI in it's check box... maybe there's something i'm missing to? it is cheaper after all,maybe someone like You maybe could give it a closer inspection?(or anyone else that matters),or is it just me bitching about nothing?(i really got exited about the futures that were in the old IB motherboard) i will try to find some Virtual MVP and without benchmarks and if i prove to be bitching about practically nothing i will get the haswell :)

Most motherboards will have support for 2 x GPUs in SLI or Crossfire built in them, including the B85/Z87/H87, etc.
