It will be a monster for overclock. But are you going to be gaming.

I wouldn't recommend it then. But have you heard of the new Intel i7-4790K with a base of 4GHz and most people will have no trouble getting it to 4.7GHz and above without an issue.

The performance benefit would/is really riding on a good OC from it....this board may struggle a bit.... sure I could just not sure how high or if it would be worth it..

The i7-4790K is not compatible with your mobo as yours is LGA1136and the i7 is a LGA1150. So if you want the i7, you will need to buy the CPU and then a mobo. :)

You need to realize Haswell is not worth going up to for me....Ivy maybe....

If you want the Xeon then go for it without further say. But if you like the i7 as it is for gaming and overclocking then go for it. :)

well being you can pick up the 6 core X5650 used pretty cheap $70-100 not bad to try it out anyways

I do feel like I'm the last/few that are Necroing/running/keeping x58 going xD

but heck man its still solid Mid-range performance xD
