As the title states go for the current 4770K 4 core Haswell processor, or wait til the 8 core Devils canyon is released in a few weeks?

This is a gaming PC, will the 8 core vs 4 core make a difference in gaming performance.

Let me just clear somethings out of your mind. Devil's Canyon is not a new generation of CPUs. They're a refresh of the current Haswell CPUs and the only difference is that Devil's Canyon will overclock better, because they are hand-picked chips, so no 8-core for you, sir.
However, if you're strictly gaming, you don't need an i7, go for an i5, it will serve just as good for less money.
