There was a thread on here earlier about Haswell 4770K vs a 3930K, but I'm glad I went for a hexa core:

Metro: Last Light is the third game this year that can actually use 6 cores - and I'm certain next gen consoles will want more cores and more threads; all those fancy new extensions won't really matter much for Haswell in the end anyway.
So, despite LGA 2011 being rather creaky and old, if you don't want like the look of Haswell, I wouldn't hesitate and get LGA 2011. Plenty of grunt for another 3 years until Broadwell hexa-core/octa-core with DDR4. And a perfect match for my Titan. :thumbsup:
