I want to build a budget pc that I can upgrade in the future. I want to know what the most upgrade cpu socket to help choose my mobo. I was thinking it was either lga 1150 or lga 1155. Thx
 
Solution
Right now its LGA 1151. Brand new socket, still got life in it.
LGA 1155 is old, no new releases.
LGA 1150 is being phased out, no new releases.
if you wanted to upgrade in the future it will be LGA 1151 which is used by intel's skylake series of CPUs, and is the newest socket from them so it would give you better ability to upgrade in the future.
