Hi, at the moment I have a i5 2400 with a h61 motherboard, I can get a z77 motherboard for cheap. Should I get this motherboard and keep my 2400 for another three years, since I am satisfied with the performance of it, or will it become obsolete in the next year. Reasons for new motherboard:
1) I will add a second gpu in sli in the future.
2) I want to get faster ram.
3)When my friend upgrade, he will sell me his 3570k, and then I will overclock.
