So you consider turbo for the build but not MIRs?

Uhhhh
You JUST stated you did not consider turbo as the rate.
You also didn't calc the IPC increase.

1 year warranty and 30 days return. Price match policy.

Most parts have 3 years normally.

3.4 GHz vs 3.1 Ghz... I did not realize the 3.9 was Turbo, but 3.4 is base frequency. IPC?

Integers Per Clock, which is HIGHER with Haswell vs Ivy Bridge. They are similar in total benchies, in addition to dual channel ram, LOWER CAS rating ram (faster), and lower wattage.

Haswell wins, regardless. The Ghz doesn't matter as much as the arch and surrounding factors. Please god go ask Anandtech or HardOCP or someone that deals with this sort of thing. Seven minutes you could've already ordered the best.

Dual vs single channel:

Then add 5-10% for IPC. That 3.1 vs 3.4 is alot different if you're running full load no turbo and dual vs single, especially for a memory intensive operation ( I run the v2 on an H61 because of Link Time Optimization compiling).
