Which is better Im gonna get Dual GTX 780s i'm thinking on waiting on the ivy bridge e but i kinda think overclocking a AMD FX 8350 to 5ghz or 5.2Ghz is better i just wanna see what is better.Also or should i just wait for the new CPUs that AMD are gonna release?I'm gonna be playing games like Battlefield 3,Battlefield 4,Batman Trilogy,Tomb Raider,Assasins Creed Series,Grand Theft Auto Series,Resident Evil Series,Borderland,Borderland 2,Crysis Series,League of legends,Dota 2,Team Fortress 2,Fallout Series,Left 4 Dead,Left 4 Dead 2,Counter Strike Series,Arma Trilogy,Mirrors Edge,Minecraft,Medal Of Honor Series,Dungeon Seige Series,Lost Planet Trilogy,Red Dead Redemption,L.A Noire,Far Cry Trilogy,Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon,and other big AAA games on a single monitor on 2560x1440 on Ultra Settings.

A quad core i5-4670k provides better performance than the FX-8350. It not really necessary to consider buying Ivy Bridge E (I thought Intel was going straight to Haswell E, then again I don't really follow socket 2011) unless you want maximum performance regardless of the price.

The i7-3930k sells for around $575 so the successor is likely to be equally as expensive, if not more. That's nearly 3x the cost of the FX-8350 and more than 2x the price of an i5-4670k.

The FX 8350 has really bad per core performance which will really slow down your GPUs, if you can afford 2 780s, you probably want to build a pc that will last long, and since that's the case, you should get a CPU that is worthy to stand next to your 2 cards. Your best shot is at a 2011 socket CPU. 3930K, maybe 4930K when it comes out very soon. The new 1150 will be refreshed next year, so you can get an i5 4670K or i7 4770K, and then next year upgrade if needed, but I've heard that after that, the 1150s will be soldered to the motherboard, making it impossible to change your CPU.
