Thanks for the quick reply.

I'd be gutted if Intel do push back the release date.

I take it any Haswell chip, will work in these new Z97 motherboards?

So at the moment, my basket looks like this..

I am not sure on the Evga PSU. There an unknown brand to me when it comes to the Power supplies, so will have to look at some reviews about them. In the past I have always used Corsair, but they have taken a nose dive in recent months. Super Flower seems to be the popular choice at the moment and there is a lot of positive feed back.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 OC WindForce 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-R929OC-4GD) £335.99
1 x TeamGroup Xtreem LV 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-21300C11 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit (TXD316G2666HC11CDC01) £149.99
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE250BW) £119.98
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £109.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060009-WW) £88.00
1 x Pioneer BDR-209EBK 16x BDRW Multilayer 128GB retail £59.99
Total : £863.93 (includes shipping : ).

The EVGA Supernova G2 850w is basically a Superflower Leadex 850w that Superflower has built for EVGA. It's much cheaper and has double the warranty so it's a win win situation.

Yep, working for me.

With regards to Devils canyon, it should be June 2nd and Hexus reports some retailers as listing them and the anniversary pentiums so i doubt they have been delayed.

***Edit*** Strike that, have a read of the link in Stulids post below.

Not a site I usually read but the story is going around the net.

Just saw that in the Devils canyon thread. I suppose it makes sense as Haswell has been out less than a year and they probably want to shift more of them first. Same with Broadwell. Christmas was just too soon to the Haswell refresh release.

One good thing to come out of this is that I may hold onto the top i5 scores in the Cinbench thread for a bit longer.

Yeah not impressed tbh, just dangling the carrot with the basic 4790 chip.

Time to hit the MM for a cheapo I5

stulid · 23 May 2014 at 15:23

Some people already have these new chips.

So they are around.

Seriously...what the hell is the purpose of "paper-launch" anyway? Spread misinformation and trapping potential customers with new motherboard, and then force them to cave in and buy old CPUs (and the crappy TIM application can be considered a design flaw in the first place)?

mysticsniper · 24 May 2014 at 08:17

Thanks for all your assistance.

To be honest, I am thinking now of buying a few of the items now that I can possibly use in my old system and buy the rest at a later date.

I don't think there is any point in buying a new mobo and memory, if the new Devils canyon core's aren't being made available till September, but still hoping it's June
