Logan, Wendel.
I was thinking it's time for a new PC, my i5-520M and my other X4 965 are pretty Outdated now with whats new in the market, so I was thinking Haswell, a 4770K but since the prices of Ivy Bridge-E are now here, specially the 4820K even $20-$30 cheaper than the 4770K, it created a hassle in my plans and pushed me to think of waiting to see what happens with it, I was planing 2-Way SLI too, so the Dobule x16 pci-E are also tempting, BUT the z87 is was ahead of x79 when it comes to SATA and certified RAM Speeds and some other stuff that might actually give the x79 a run when it comes to them, and also ofcourse there is a bigger range of mobo's that could be choosen from, so do you any news about any new boards that will be released for Ivy Bridge-E, or if even it will be using x79/2011? or do you think I should just stick to Haswell?
Thanks in Advance!
BTW what I had planned for haswell is:
what is your budget and what do you want to do with your pc
$2000 and I'll be mainly Editing videos and and Photos for my work on three 1080p screens and heavy gaming, like when not editing, i would game for 20 hours a day or so xD
ohh yeah, and the monitors are not included with the budget, I already own them.
im also wondering if i should wait.
2 760 2gb is actually worse for multi monitor than a 770 3gb.
Wait for ivy-e if you really need the extra cores.
You don't need a 1kw power supply.
Litrily a week away from ordering my new machine. Honestly I do not know if I can wait any longer. Been stuck with a failing laptop for 5 months now. Only things I need is a new Monitor, Case, CPU and Mobo as I have everything else, My budget is 1,500 lol. Wish there would be a leak on release date or an anouncment. September is too vague.
actually the 4820K is gonna be 4 Cores with HT.
and I think I'll give it a shot and see my chances with SLI for multi-monitors and, because I can't afford anymore money for a 780 or a titan. so I'll go for two cards and I'll see how it ends up.
you know how computers are "trial and error"
I guess If you have a X79/LGA2011 board you should wait. I think ivy-e will have lots of differences from the sandy-e and its cheaper from what's released and leaked, but z87 is pretty new and has the same architecture and all.
I have come to the conclusion, Get a 4770k and a high end z87 mobo and a good single gpu. Even a 770 is better than dual 760's because there are issues with sli.

760's will have similar problems and some games just can not use sli. (Trials Evolution) and will run at next to no frames. Get a 770 or a 7970. From my research, Its the best option. 780 even better.
It is the pcie lanes that really matter and a 780 has only been bottlenecked in a 4x pcie 2.0 slot. By the time pcie 16x 3.0 bottlenecks a card or the cpu just cant handle it, Both a 4770k and a 4820k will become useless. Save the cash and put it into a better gpu.
haswell and Ivy bridge-e are not the same archutecture. Haswell is 22nm 4core and Ivy bridge-e will be a 8 core 32nm with 2 cores physicly disabled.
Hmm, Convincing xD
I'll be cheking that, Thanks.
Ivybridge-E has already been confirmed to only go up to 6-Cores, I wouldv'e been impressed if they made an 8-Core Ivybridge-E CPU.

it will have 4 and 6 cores only, and they will switch to 22nm
You did not read what i said, It will be an 8 core with 2 cores physicly disabled. Like they did with Sandy Bridge-e. It is a 6 core because 2 cores are completly removed from the circuitry.
ivy-e are practically crippled Xeons. It would always be wiser to get the latest and greatest (haswell) since you already are spending a lot. It may last longer. Ivy-e quadcore isn't really justified, if you bought it for more cores then I would've gone that way too.
