Change to X79/ LGA 2011 - Worth it?
Some time ago someone posted here about upgrading to LGA 2011 when the current Ivy Bridge release was immenent and I asked why one would go the X79 route. My question was misunderstood and upset at least a couple of people. Some time has passed, and I'd like to ask the question again, hoping this time my poor english skills are not misunderstood again.
With the Haswell on the way, is an investment in LGA 2011 worthwhile?
Given it's expensive and starting to age, if I wanted to improve my systems performance for gaming, media encoding and photoshopping would spending $1300 be a wise investment? (ASRock X79 Extreme9, another 32GB of RAM, and a I7-3930X).
If you have LGA 2011 technology I'd welcome your thoughts.
Edit: Arghh: Sorry, posted in wrong forum.. Meant to post in Hardware & Devices... Slip of the mouse.. Please forgive me.
Thanks
