hmmm well haswell is newer and performs up to 10% better depending on the application, but it gets hotter too. if you have a quality cooler or want to overclock, go haswell. youll likely have to get a new mobo by the time an upgrade is necessary anyways. the difference will only be felt in benchmarks..

Honestly, The 4930k will be your best bet. The performance difference between the 3960x and the 4930k is minimal. So save the $400 and get the 4930k, Overclock it and it will be faster. Do not get a 4770k or anything. Waste of money. Considering your doing heavy editing and stuff. I do the same stuff so Im upgrading to a 4930k from an i7 3820.
