I about to start ordering parts after lots of HW then i see x99 coming

Haswell-E
Basically was looking to get an i7-4790k and an asus MAXIMUS VII HERO or ASRock Z97 Extreme6 LGA 1150
and an ASUS DirectCU II GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD5 G-SYNC 8-16GB(Plan with the GPU is wait then when priced drop buy another and would love it if i can put 2 into 2x16 3.0 which u cant do with the 1150) Then out of the blue I see Asrock saying stuff about x99 and mentions Haswell-e will have faster CPU. Plus it seems every feature is stealing lanes like SATA or m2. etc and another benefit is more CPU Core and ddr4,seems like it’s a good buy was wondering what you guys think.

You can't always be waiting for the "next-best-thing". Buy the build you will be happy with now. Upgrade later if the funds/needs are there.

Oh, come on, just buy a current top parts and forget about upgrades for at least 2 or 3 years. Thanks to consoles, 5 years also seems to be possible.

My system is about 4 years old now, and had I bought two 6970s, even today it was enough for 99% cases. With only one 6970, it is enough for 95% cases, though, which is not bad too.

If you're not going to use the extra cores then Haswell-E is a waste of your money.

and if you want pcie 16x16 on the 1150 socket just go to the asrock extreme9 board.
