I recently acquired a ThermalTake Water 2.0 Extreme cpu cooler for a great price. I want to overclock, but I don't know much about it. My question is, should I get the Haswell i5 unlocked chip, or the Ivy Bridge?

Thanks!

In short for overclocking ivy bridge is better than haswell but remember a ivy bridge @4.5 will have equal performance to a haswell @4.3 so the point is overall haswell is great
And the latest news is that in 2014 there will be a haswell refresh and so 1150 wont be a dead chip so u have upgrade options
