Hello,
Currently sporting a AMD FX8320. It has been a great performer since I bought it about 3 months ago. With the release of Haswell, I am considering if the move to the 4770K will be worth the $400 spending. I mainly use my rig for light gaming, watching videos, homework, folding on the weekends on BOINC, and general use.
I am intrigued by the low power consumption of Intel's offering so I guess technically it should be saving me money in the long run compared to the FX.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
