haswell has a bit better performance clock for clock BUT since you can overclock ivy higher than haswell you are looking at a wash . the deal breaker is the graphics card since the majority of games are gpu dependent.

7950 > 7870XT hands down.

oopps. those are non "k"s on a h series boards - sorry but i'll still stick to the gpu denpendancy stuff and not change my suggestion.

7950+ 3470 FTW!
i wasn't paying attention as i ought have so don't pay attention to overclocking. the performance difference you will get with the 7950 over the 7870XT will more than compansate for the difference in the cpus, if any.

Those are the two cheapest 7950s on newegg right now. I think the HiS one is better.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026 This is a good one from Sapphire but it's sold out on newegg but it's sold out one day and in stock the next. It's similar to my http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202007

I think the 760 might be a little bit better at stock but I know the 7950 overclocks really well. I know you are not planning on overclocking but it's still good to know. I get my Sapphire 7950 to near 1200 on the core without touching voltage. Also with the 7950 you get to choose 3 free games. The cheapest 760 is $250.00.
