New Haswell CPU feature set?

Well, I am currently building my new rig, mainly because I'm fed up with my 7-year-old UBER slow, pre-built PC.

Recently, I've been hearing news that Intel's new Haswell CPU's are to be released on July 2, 2013.
I was wondering if it'll be worth it to wait for a new Haswell CPU as well as Z78 Mobos to launch, of if I should just stick with the i5-3570K.
Has anyone heard anything about what new features the Haswell CPUs have? I know for a fact that they have drastically better integrated graphics that run about as well as a discrete graphics card. But I'm already getting a top of the line GPU, so it doesn't matter so much to me, other than maybe for use with VirtuMVP.
 
If you can put-up with what you've got for another few months, wait for Haswell and the LGA 1150 boards.

If you really want to build now, got LGA 1155 and 3570K.

I imagine the Haswell CPUs will likely be better for overclocking than the Ivy Bridge CPUs.
