Got me the GTX 770 in the end.
Perfomance looks better than the GTX 680, equivalent to the HD 7970 GHz edition.
I told you that the 7970 was as powerful as the 680 :P
Quoted:
Cheaper than the GTX 680 and depending on store/config, it's either a lot or a little cheaper than the HD 7970 GHZ edition.
The 'GHz Edition' card is just an overclock of the same card you know :P
The only difference is the bios that it uses.
If you're too scared to flash a different bios(and thus literally turn your normal into 'GHz ED') you could simply overclock it normally to roughly the same effect.
AMD definitely has Nvidia beat in the overclocking department in this generation. The only current-gen chip Nvidia has that overclocks well is the GK110 (Titan&780).
But Nvidia has AMD beat in the power per watt department.
It's all a bunch of tradeoffs.
And here I go flaunting my knowledge around again :3

"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T
Meh.. Haswell was a bit of a disappointment.
5-10% faster than Ivy Bridge and overclocks roughly the same or worse than Ivy. (and Ivy is known to overclock kinda poorly)
The integrated graphics are a disappointment too. AMD's Trinity CPUs outclass them completely. They're like 25% faster than the older integrated Intel GPUs, but that's mostly moot compared to the ~50% faster integrated AMD GPUs.
Still, if I can get a 5% faster CPU for roughly the same price as Ivy today, with a much better sound card and Wi-Fi on the motherboard, then I'm satisfied.

The moment a religious person unknowingly calls his own ways stupid: "And lol. I highly doubt you have magic powers. If you proved it I would believe you, but since you 'refuse to', I choose not to."
Best intro ever.
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

Yeah, why wouldn't you waste money to get ****ty hardware and ****ty OS.

If you plug something into a USB3 socket, open a file from the USB device, put your PC to sleep, resume it, then the file won't resume like it should. It'll work again if you plug it out and then in again though so it's a very minor thing.
It kind of doesn't matter for a desktop PC unless you're using external drives a lot, but it would be a pain to have this problem with a laptop.
I'm personally gonna wait until the second run and hope for a bit of a price-drop.
I'm just a poor student :3
