Im preparing to buy my first new gaming desktop in a lot of years but i have a tough time deciding which socket to choose. I had just selected the 1150 which were almost a habit from the past. I had picked the i7-4770k haswell which which isnt available for the 2011 socket for instance but ive read a pcgamer article that the haswell actually were a poorer choice for desktop gaming at the moment

Is it smarter to pick a different socket and to make a new plan around that or will 1150 be just fine for a long time?
The original plan was this, but i can just pick different components....im not set in stone with anything but the gpu.
