Solution
Either one would work just fine. The best thing I would recommend would be to get the one that fits your budget the best.

Even though the 1155 platform is superseded by the 1150 overall there is not alot of difference in performance. So if you can get a 1155 based system for a lower price get it as it will still last for a good 2 or three years with the right GPU.
