Might be a cracking little budget cpu in that case... OC fun for days
I preordered one for that reason

Looks like quite a nice refresh particularly given the 4GHz stock clock rumors were true. My upgrade bug is beginning to start tingling again. Although I'd have to question my buying into a new platform for DDR3 at this stage, when DDR4 isn't too far away.
Regarding the inclusion of the IGPU. Intel actually already released a mainstream CPU without one, namely the i5-2550k to pander to those who don't want an IGPU. Although I think it was EOL'd quite soon though, not many people buying it.

Besides the IGPU is handy to have around, particularly if your graphics card bites the dust.

Thank you Asus,
came really close to:-D buying the 4770k for my new build, along with the EK precision mount for the waterblock and de-lidded cpu.

Still going to hold out for Haswell E. My E8500 will have to do until then.
I cannot understand why anyone who has a new build on their horizon would not wait for Haswell E and DDR4. I agree with your comment 100%.:beerchug:

Because DDR4 is going to be expensive as fuck for at least a year.

Intel OC challenge. So basically if you get a super chip you can do those clocks.

Its been AMD's move since about 2009 and we havent seen squat yet. With them abandoning the performance CPU segment I dont expect them to be making that move anytime soon either. Intel is all we have left. Glad to see theyre not only sticking around but offering products specifically aimed at us hardcore types.
Well its going to be really expensive for starters and Ill be shocked if DDR4 offers any performance benefits that you can notice in real world use. Im sure itll light up the benchmark scores but when it comes to RAM, that doesnt usually translate over to actual performance you can tell. Ive always wanted an "E" system but a 4790K based system will be a complete badass system for a good bit less money.
Plus, I dont get into the whole "just wait til...." type of thing unless its just a couple weeks like DC is. Waiting til the end of the year for Haswell-E you might as well wait for Broadwell and if you wait for Broadwell you might as well wait for Broadwell E and so on. No matter how long you wait, something newer and better and most of the time cheaper is coming out right around the corner. Buy what you need, when you need it.

In my opinion if you already have a Haswell CPU there is no need for an upgrade as you may as well wait for Broadwell.
But if your upgrading from sandybridge, Ivybridge or moving from AMD to intel then I see no reason why you shouldn't get the Haswell refresh.

I don't think they could pull off a 5Ghz 8350 TBH... lol
4790K is going to kick some ass for sure.

I disagree.. i see no point in upgrading from any of those named I series. Only things that improve are benchmark scores. AMD to Intel upgrade has been logical since sandybridge however.
They already did? It's called the 9590 and it was one of the absurdest things AMD ever released.
