I'm tempted even though I have a 4770K , the only thing that stops me is Haswell-E and DDR4 which is coming soon.
I'm starting to think Haswell-E will have a 6 Core entry level processor option. Something like:
Core i7 5960X - 8 cores / 16 threads ~$1000 USD
Core i7 5930K - 8 cores / 16 threads ~$550 USD
Core i7 5820 - 6 cores / 12 threads ~$300 USD
The Haswell-E processor nomenclature is a guess as well. Still, it would make sense that Intel would attempt to make the entry level Haswell-E processor less attractive with respect to the other two (mid and high-end). So the entry level may be locked or rather partially locked comparatively speaking.
6 cores (real cores mind you) / 12 threads for ~$300 could be really interesting and attractive depending on your use case.
The problem there though is that new X99 / LGA2011-3 motherboards will likely be expensive or at least more expensive then mainstream LGA1150 boards to say nothing of DDR4 with respect to DDR3.
