Ok, You guys haven't steered me wrong so far so, i need a bit of advice.
I want to build a computer that is a gaming computer, AND can handle anything else you throw at it. I plan on flash animation and compiling and editing 1080p Video. i will be harnessing the power of 2 GTX 780's (thanks to TheBigTroll and Buzz247 for helping me on that) that are watercooled along with the CPU
I currently am planning on a LGA2011 i7-3930K CPU which ill upgrade to a i7-4960X when it comes out.
I have been told by many that using a i7-4770K would be better for gaming, but i would sacrifice 2 cores and 4 threads, and my abilities to upgrade to the i7-4960X and half my ram capacity.
I should mention, i dont trust Haswell yet, i have reason to believe that it was developed with laptops in mind, vs. desktops. That and its still new, i usually wait on things like that for a few months, but by the time i build this desktop it will be that waiting period.
I like the ability to upgrade, and LGA 1150 and 2011 are the next in line to be updated. I do not deny that the Haswell series is a powerful set of chips, but im not sure if im ready to step into that area yet. Thats why im asking the community. Select a position to take, and please comment on your choice!
Note: If you chose option 3 may i note, i will not be going with a AMD platform, please keep your recommendations strictly Intel
