LGA Socket 1155 or vs Socket 1366

I'm running Socket 1366 X58 and I’m really happy with it, however socket 1155 is much easier to overclock as it's more affordable and you can purchase a CPU with an unlocked multiplier.

Socket 1155 is just the upgrade for socket 1156, socket 2011 (Due release in September this year) is the upgrade for socket 1366, I don't know what the expected retail price will be but personally I would rather wait for the release and buy myself the new socket.

Just my 15 cents!

A Sandy Bridge performs better then the first gen i7s. The 1155 is surely future-proof, but if your build isnt urgent and you want the fastest cpu you can wait till the end of this year for Ivy Bridge and who knows - Bulldozer might give us a surprise :)
