I'd just buy the 4770K, and wait a few years for the soon-to-come processors.

i would love that but i don't have the money

Ahh. Buy the 3000 models, or wait a while for the price to go down.

Well, what do you have now? If its nothing, haswell refresh has been announced with dates already, so no questioning that. Maxwell has released a lot of their info, but only low end cards with actual details on. Well that and mobile

I've got a 4770K

If the haswell refresh is that much better, go for it. I'd also either buy an i5 or one of the 3000 if I were to get something now.

If you want it now, go ahead and grab a current gen Haswell chip.

If you can wait, wait for the new CPUs.

I'd say it's as simple as that.

Agreed.

Unless your rig is so old and decrepit, and on its last legs, that a replacement is a almost a need, I would wait for Broadwell. Some of the kinks of Haswell might be straightened out.

thanks for all relpies guys i think i will wait 1 more month for z97 mobos release and get a haswell on it so when broadwell comeout i will be able to upgrade to it

Remember, you'll need to reinstall your OS if you put in a new CPU or mobo

Remember to pick the best answer!
