I read in the magazine Maximum PC that the Haswell-E has 45% more performance than the Haswell and Ivy-Bridge.

For gaming, would it be worth upgrading my Core i7 3770K to a 5770K or 5960X?

Since Ivy, every Z-series platform has PCI-e 3.0 anyway.

Clock for clock Hasswell-E is less than 5 percent faster in GAMING, the only benefit it has is more CACHE, which very rarely does anything for gaming performance

When comparing quad core gaming performance, clock for clock, how much faster is the Haswell-E compared to the Haswell and Ivy Bridge?

Is it necessary to have an enthusiast X99 motherboard/Haswell-E CPU and PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to run the latest top-tier GPU's from AMD and Nvidia without bottlenecking due to PCI bus bandwidth limitations?

I have a Z77/Ivy Bridge setup and I'm looking to upgrade to a dual SLI GTX 970. Will my two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots bottleneck two GTX 970 Maxwells in SLI?
