I think the main different between ivy-Bridge and Haswell is that Haswell CPUs consume less power

If I have a 750 watt PSU that shouldn't be a problem correct?

well you're looking for advice - expect opinions ...read this...... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/349920-28-3350p-2500k
..and I think (opinion) gigabyte mb's are the best --- that cofig you chose would do well - for psi , don't skimp go with
a mainstream brand like corsair...I would spend my cash in this priority.... graphics, mb, cpu, power supply, memory

Well how about this, I have a budget of 675 for a new CPU, motherboard, GPU and PSU. I also need to have the option to add a second GPU.
