So, after much inner debate (and a lovely gift of $1800 from the state of Alaska) I decided I'm gonna build a new PC. Don't really need to, can run most games on high-ish with 45+ frames, but hot damn are those new cards tempting.
I've parted out two separate builds, one is with haswell-e, the other is devil's canyon.
This is the one with Haswell-e its definitely more expensive, and racking up at a little over $2,500 it would be something I wouldn't be buying in the near future (near being about a month). I've been talking myself out of it though, seeing as it'll be mostly a gaming machine the 6 cores would be lost on most games and so would the stupidly expensive ddr4.
As for devil's canyon this is what I've come up with, it is much more reasonable, at right around $1500 I would more than likely be able to get this in time for the Warlords of Draenor launch, and the h110 would let me oc the i5 to some very nice clock speeds. I doesn't have an SSD because I plan to get one around Christmas time (if not sooner).
Well, that's what I've come up with, if anyone has better ideas for parts I'd love to hear it, and I'm more or less settling in on the cheaper build (instant gratification and what-not) but I could probably be convinced to wait. Also I'm running on a laptop right now so not getting a case is not an option.
