+1, There is no point in going anywhere near BD.
doesn't matter.
I5 beats this hands down so go for that people! Still a good deal though if you want AMD
Thinking of buliding a new system but have Haswell palying on my mind.Wish there was more solid info on Haswell. I know there is always something better round the corner with tech and every few years another socket comes out.Still on 775 with a E8400 :D

it will be introduced in Q2 2013, with new 1150 socket. if you can manage on that E8400 till then, it would make a great upgrade for the next few years. if you need new processing power immediately, then IB is obvious choice.

Come on Mr IT guru it will use socket 1150 not 1050!
@ roister. Unless your going to be using the IGPU on Haswell then its probably not going to be worth the wait. It's only likely to be 10% faster and be about 10% better on power use.

I knew something wasn't quite right there.
it must have felt real good for you to spot that error and have the pleasure to correct it.
I feels ya, brah.

what's the budget? but i'm guessing 3770K will be the #1 choice.

It wasn't for me it was for the community. :)
Well somebody has to pick up the pieces when your wrong or suspended! ;)

As little as possible. I've priced up using this CPU and can come in at about £410 for parts. Don't want to go much higher than that.

post the full list of parts. sounds really cheap to me.

Basically, M5A99X, this CPU, Antec 300 Two case, Coolermaster PSU, generic RAM, Sony DVD drive. I already have the HDDs.
CPU 132 after CB
Case 40
PSU (just guessing) 40
RAM (4x8GB) £55x4 = 220
DVD 13
£531
what am I doing wrong?

I'm not paying that much for the RAM. Special deal. Even if I were to pay that much for the RAM, from what I can see, a decent mobo plus the 3770k is going to set me back over £400 straight away....given that it's still only four cores, assigning individual cores to the VMWare guests is going to be tricky. Also, doesn't the 3770k only run at top whack by "sleeping" the other cores? Which the AMD doesn't do - it runs them all at full clock speed? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the AMD will certainly be the best bet for my requirement, despite the AMD naysayers...thanks for the feedback though.

otherwise even with £80 more cost, 3770K is just a better option.
you're also forgetting hyperthreading.
