Beat Future-Proof Mobo and CPU

[_ashwin_ram]

So after hours of researching.. I've decided to go with Intel for my Cpu rather than AMD as there were rumours that they are gping to kill AM3 + socket . 

 

When I build my rig... I want it to last for 5 to 6 years . But I'm confused whether to go with lga 1151 or lga 1156 or lga 2011v3

 

Other parts 

Gpu Rx480 8Gb for 2 years and then buy another one and run them in crossfire 

RAM 2x8GB DDRR4

Honestly theres no way to "future proof" with something like a motherboard, a new revolutionary feature could be brought out next year, that would trump all current features. (not likely to happen, but who knows)

Just get one that has everything you'll need, 2/3 PCI-e slots, 4+ Sata connectors, possibly an m.2 slot, good onboard audio unless you're buying a soundcard.

get the latest socket. thing is if you're keeping it for 5 years then, in five years you will be buying a totally new one so just get the best you can afford now. I built my computer 5 years ago and I maxed out the RAM so all I have needed to upgrade is the size of my SSD and my GPU

It doesn't exist. Buy what you need now.

Z270 for intel optane. There future proof.

What? Haven't you seen how fast Intel kills off a platform? 

 

LGA 1155 > LGA 1150 > LGA 1151

 

1155 was around 2011. That was only 5 years ago and we've already had 3 different platforms. Ain't no intel board you buy is gonna last you through different 3 generations CPUs. Unless you stick to your babe like how Sandy bridge users are still using their hardware till today.
