I made a few edits. A better PSU as well as the 1151 socket will allow for upgrades to Kaby Lake in the future.

But the option is still there, considering the fact that Kaby Lake is releasing soonTM. Also, wouldn't you help him? :P

But it's still a performance gain, and it's much simpler than say an overclock or something like that. Also, they could easily get something like an i7-7700 just for the extra threads on that board and not have to worry about upgrades for the next 7-8 years.
