Hello, how are you?
Now that the Rampage V is out as well as DDR4 ram, I am wondering how big of an upgrade is from going from Haswell S1150 4790k to Haswell-e for gaming...
Would it be worth it?
Haswell-e is an upgrade from socket 2011 x79 platform that is not the most popular gaming platform.
So I was wondering if this would be a good worth it upgrade or if it's better to way for the 1150 direct upgrade.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

no it wouldn't, if your ONLY gaming then no a haswell e cpu isn't going to be worth it, the i7 4790K can still hold it's own in this arena very well. Just look at tom's latest haswell e review.

only get haswell e for gaming if your doing 3-4 way crossfireX/SLI.
