My build:
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe
CPU: i7 4790K (overclocked to 4.4Ghz)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: Asus Z97-WS (up to 4-Way SLI/Crossfire)
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120GB
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB
RAM: 8GB Msuhkin BlackLine 2400Mhz

So should I go with this build or wait for September for X99 Haswell-E ( considering that base 5820K will probably be at least £100 more and Mobo will add to cost even more). not doing anything insane- just regular coding (high-school/college level) and some video editing/gaming.
So, do you guys think that haswell-e is worth it or is my build good enough for my purposes for the next few years? (Gaming isnt my focus atm so I don't have a GPU included)
Would like to know your thoughts.
Thanks

nah, it should be fine. If you need more performance, just overclock to like 4.6.

What price will the 5820K be in £ (considering 4790K is currently £230)?
