Anyone got some good price vs performance 1150 socket boards they would recommend?

I assume no one here is running haswell yet, but if anyone has read any reviews that are worth noting?

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

From the brief reading I have done on haswell, it was/is more aimed at laptops and mobile devices, getting a performance increase while decreasing power use. So not that great for desktops.

Willamette -> Prescott -> Wolfdale -> Sandy Bridge

My CPU history seem to trend towards me missing a few generations before upgrading; better wait for the next gen.

Also: It seems I prefer Intel for my main rig

Overclocked that slut too. It deformed the shape of the motherboard because of the heat and the terrible CPU coolers.
