cool... a new Intel CPU... With all the hype and hoopla about this the main factor is that while the new Intel chips do a bit better than the AMD it is not like it is a huge performance boost. It is only a slight boost that most people would not even notice because lets face it the majority of end users that play games online don't really know much about the inner workings of their computers and also since it has happened over and over again Intel released a new cpu that slightly outdoes the AMD and within a year AMD will release another upgraded cpu that will do a bit better than the Intel. I say wait until you can get at least a 50% performance boost before you upgrade or you are just spending money for something you wont even notice.
