Mobo just died (i think - either the MOBO or the CPU, or both), which means an upgrade is in order. Was running a phenom II x6 1055T, so whether it is to a IVB or HSW, the jump will be pretty large. Currently torn between waiting for Haswell or taking advantage of some of the better sales & combo deals now appearing for the 3770k.
One of my considerations is how difficult it will be to get HSW at launch. This would be a first for me - buying a CPU at launch. So I don't really know what to expect. Will they be tough to come by? How long should I expect to wait if I'm not able to get one right away?
And, if you're going to recommend going with the 3770K, what would be a good price point to wait for/expect/hope to see in a bundle?
I am in Canada. Thanks!
