why? lga 1155 has already been the interface to two generations of intel cpu's, manufacturing has now shifted to haswell lga 1150 as the mainstream processor. If you're at all concerned about the need for future upgrades, don't be, the lga 1155 i5/i7 cpu's are plenty powerful - the main focus of ivy/haswell has been improvement in igpu performance & power requirements. i personally intend to be with an i5 3350p until at least skylake (2015-2016)
