2011 or 1155?

Hi guys, having a problem deciding what to do here. Going to upgrade my old computer and debating whether to go for sb-e or ivy.

Intel i7 3930k
Asus Rampage IV Extreme
CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 DOMINATOR QUAD 1866MHZ CL9 (4X4GB)
corsair force gt 120gb

or

Intel i7 3770k
Asus Maximus V Formula
CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 DOMINATOR QUAD 1866MHZ CL9 (4X4GB)
Corsair force gt 240gb

Both will probably cost about the same, the difference is the size of the ssd.

I was in a similar situation last time i bought a computer, went for a c2d instead of a c2q which i regretted dearly. Is it the same deal with these platforms?

I am a programmer so i use my computer quite intensively, having a ton of programs running all the time and my computer is bogging down constantly. I also game a lot but the difference in gaming is rather miniscule between the platforms from what I can gather.

On the one hand I want the biggest and the best and I want it now, and on the other hand I want the newest stuff... sigh... help me make my mind up please!

Oh and one more thing, I love to overclock everything if that makes any difference.
