Neither! You're better going for a more common socket type. A core i5 4670k would be much better (and a little cheaper) as you can always upgrade without the need to change your motherboard.

If you want my attention, quote my post or I will not see it. I ignore builds that do not use PCPartPicker.

Take the i5.

Even so, you still have to think about future upgrades. An LGA1150 will allow him to upgrade to an i7 in the future on the same board

lga 1150 costs like 4 times as much as this processor he is buying.
