Wooo Free Mice!! Also hi LTT guys

I like the headphones because they look absolutely stunning.

Thanks for all of the responses. I know that the X99 chipset is going to be more expensive and more powerful. I don't plan on necessarily using that m.2 socket as i understand right now storage drives don't take full capability of that port. I am an engineering major right now so maybe in the future there is a possibility for doing some CAD projects, but that is about 5 years away. For now I think i might stick with the z97 with the 1150 socket. The small amount of video editing I do it should be good enough for that. Thanks for all of your help everybody.

Hey everyone so this winter I plan on building my first desktop computer. My current laptop no longer has the balls i need it to have so i think its time to upgrade. I still want to have a laptop so i'm planning on keeping this one (Dell Studio 1558 - Decked out). So as the title says I do have a question regarding which socket I should go with. I dont want the socket/motherboard to go out of date so i was wondering which would be better to go with. If i do go with the LGA1150 route i will be putting a i7-4790k in an Asus z97 motherboard. But if i go with the LGA2011 route i will be planning on putting a i7-5820k in an Asus X99 Deluxe. Two of my biggest concerns are that 1) I don't want the socket to go out of date so that in the future if necessary i would be able to upgrade the processor while keeping the motherboard. and 2) in the future i want to possibly add expansion cards/another graphics card. I know the 1150 only has the ability for 16 pcie lanes and the 2011 has the capability for up to 40 (correct me if i am wrong here). I would much rather not run things with less lanes but if i shouldn't be worried about something like that please let me know. Thanks ahead of time.
