I would not get either ever. Too expensive with too few features for me.

Unless you want a record breaking overclock? Go with a cheaper mid-level board like the Asrock Extreme3, PZ77V-LK, or GA-Z77-DH3 if you want an i5-3570K, or a nice H77 board if you won't overclock at all.

+1

Most 3570-3770 oc the same its the temp that limits your oc.
If you want the highest oc your forced to use a good custom water setup.

Asus. Have used Asus boards for years and never any problems. If money is not an issue, go with Asus.

I'm not understanding your question, but I'll do my best to explain a bunch of things.

Haswell is the chip after Ivy Bridge. They are not compatible. We (enthusiasts) anticipate Haswell to improve minimally on the CPU's raw computing ability per clock, but Haswell should require less watts of power. The other improvement we expect to see is in Haswell's built-in GPU (called the iGPU). The iGPU will be "good enough" to play games at medium/low effectively.

You, however, plan to a a dedicated graphics card--a dGPU (the AMD Radeon 7970). That means Haswell's iGPU inprovements are pointless for you.

That means, overall, Haswell isn't a big improvement for overclocking enthusiasts with dedicated graphics cards on the desktop. Buying into Ivy Bridge now won't hurt.

There will always be some thing better then the best you bought.
Since Intels main focus is into low power there wont be that much to choose from for the hungry desktop users.
Infact the sb and Ib will be last fast cheap cpu.
Only when intel X99 gets released will you see good power but at a much higher cost.
Most people wont even spend the extra money for a 3770k chip and claim there is no difference between the 3570s.
