The new Haswell cpu's you do you mean? Hm.. i'm not too sure, are there any distinct differences?

Also, Why the sapphire boost rather than the gigabyte oc ?

Haswell, is newer and a little faster, it would make better sense to get the latest CPU and the new LGA 1150 platform since LGA 1155 will start to become phased out.

That gigabyte card has too many fans, 2 fans do the job fine and don't cause weird airflow due to the massive amount of fans.
