Socket type / Motherboard

[jeremyy7]

Initially I was going to go with the i7 - 3.06 GHz CPU but it only fits mobos with a 1366 socket. The mobos with this spec are more expensive than the 1155. But to go with the 1155 id need the i7 - 3.4 GHz CPU. Essentially my question boils down to whether I should i spend more money on the CPU and get a cheaper mobo or spend more on the mobo and less on the CPU?

Despite the number sequencing, the 1155 is the newest socket and will be more mainstream for the near future.
