Looks just fine. Haswell will not be out until mid year. Do you really want to play the around the corner game? Go for it.

Do you need it now? Then go for it, if you have the patience to wait a couple of months then maybe you should go haswell, but again starting prices will be higher and come with a premium, just sayin, you cant wait forever

I dont really "need" it but it would be nice to have faster computer... Do you guys know how significant is the performance increase? And is there a exact release date yet?

No known facts except for that the integrated GPU will be 2x faster and that is the focus on the new chips, speculation alot of people have been saying 10-15% increase performance and maybe better overclocking, just speculation though, again igpu seems to be the main focus of haswell, and power consumption

igpu is pretty point less for us hardcore gamers.... 10-15% performance boost is quite significant. Enough to make me think twice about my current setup mad.gif I think ill wait until haswell lol.

dont get the wrong idea, i said the 10-15% increase was just a SPECULATION, there aren't much facts on how fast it will be yet, yeah i know about the igpu im just saying those were the only facts

You can get a low end Intel i3 and wait for Haswell to come out. Once Haswell comes out, sell the i3. You might aswell get a cheap motherboard if you are getting an i3 so that you won't end up loosing more money once you sell the stuff in the future.
This better play crysis or else it's going through the window.
