MATX Haswell Build

Hi Guys,

I want to ask your opinion.

It is worth spend $200 plus extra to OC for around 1500 mhz in performance? Will your computer be significantly faster?

I can build an 4670k which i can overclock to around 4500 mhz compare to an 4430 which is around 3000 mhz.

Oc ivy bridge better. This is why I don't see a point getting haswell. But you won't benefit from ocing. It's just not needed and it makes it unstable. You don't gain more than risk.
