You may find its a bit of a downgrade
Your i7 920 may be a few generations old but it does have hyperthreading. I can see more games like BF3 coming out that use those extra cores/threads. For a bit of fun I put a GTX 690 in one of my i7 9xx rigs and it ran better than in my 3960x rig.
I think my i7 9xx rigs will see off Haswell.![]()
You'd just get the HT Haswell, like the 2700k/3700k is for SB.
Really can't believe the 3960x ran a 690 worse than an i7 9xx, given the 3960x is 12 threads, 6 cores each better than a core in an i7 9xx.
