I am after all a gaming enthusiast who wants to play on the fastest set-up i can get, and I love seeing the 3Dmark scores after each upgrade. Why would you settle for the standard Haswell when you have the option of the Haswell-e ?? In my mind that is a restricted system, and something if you have the budget I would advise against.
