    Ok, I don't know whether I should go with either but anyway.
    I have to buy a "top" new gaming System and a NAS as I'll need to store everything.

    I have been waiting for a while to get every thing, but the new Haswell-E are released on the 2nd half of the year. NAS, just needs a decent power of decoding vid files as it plays them.

    Ivy-H, are good, but the mobos aren't really "special" when it comes to SATA 3 slots. unlike The current Haswell (or its updated Haswell, May 11th I think) in better support of SATA-3's. Haswell-E is at least 5-6 months off, it will bring the i7 with 6/8-cores, it's not known if the "mid-range" (around euro 500)
    will carry the 6 or 8 core. However this better than last years, Ivy-E.

    So I could go with the Haswell and be happy with it and buy an cpu and mobo and an i3 cpu. Now the other choice, I could get an i5 for the gaming rig atm and hold off on the NAS until the Haswell-E is out (sept?), then switch it to the NAS and but the replacement cpu and mobo for the gaming rig.

    Or just buy a cheap NAS cpu and itx mobo and put i7 4770k gaming rig and wait until 2016 to get an update.

    I know it may sound simple, but I still have part of the CPU, whether they are 6/8 core). I don't plan to get another until 2016). I plan to get a asus matrix 780 Ti at the start).

    i7 4930k has 6 cores while the i7 4770k has 4 cores both are overclockable.

    I'm planning to play Star Citizen and see if I'm a YTer, but spend a lot of time playing games.
