Excited about starting my new PC build once I move into my new apartment.
Question is: Vishera, or Haswell?
depends imo, I typically look at the current socket types, then pick a chipset I want to determine which socket I want (I picked the 1155 for my last build due to wide use, which also meant a cheaper motherboard).
I also picked that based on the chipset features.
After that I'd just determine the exact cpu I want based on my $ available.
My next build will probably be around virtual machine hardware forwarding for a new ESXI server, but if I'm building a PC for regular use before then; probably will would still stick with intel...
