Hello all, I am faced with a very hard decision. I am building a multi tasking gaming rig. I was always leaning towards the i7 3820 and rampage 4 extreme combo but, something hit me last night and i started looking at the 3770k and the maximus V formula. What do you guys think i should do. I am also running a Sapphire 7950 3L and 32gb 1866mhz corsair ram.

Also, if you guys have any recomendations for the RAM and/or the GPU, please post them up. RAM, i am going with 32gb and 1866 or higher. Also i have a question: Is the maximus V extreme worth the upgrade over the formula and if i get the formula will i need a seperate audio card. Thanks in advance.

I think you might as well go with the latest CPUs; and they're Haswell.

You probably won't be getting an extreme board yet though, as I haven't seen

any being released for Haswell yet. But perhaps if you can wait a little?

And I wonder what the hell you're doing that requires 32GB RAM.
