I've seen a lot of questions about whether to upgrade from IB to Haswell but no questions such as mine.
I'm thinking of building a PC sometime around December. That would be a very late stage in Ivy Bridge's lifecycle and now I'm wondering whether to wait for Haswell as apparently it's due around March 2013. What do you think? Would it be worth waiting and paying a little more or just going for IB now? Many thanks.
Just in case you'd like to know, here's the specs i'm planning to build my pc if I go for IB:
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: Gigabyte HD 7850
PSU: OCZ or Corsair 500w Modular
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77-D3H
HDD: 1Tb SATA III
SSD: 120Gb Samsung 830 series
