I am building a new computer and I have done a lot of reading on which processor to get and for me it all comes down to upgradeability. I have read about AMD pulling out of the enthusiast market and I am now torn. Intel will surely use Socket 1150 for their next line of processors, but the current Haswells have cooling issues and I want to overclock. On the other hand, AMD might never upgrade their enthusiast processors and AMD sockets last longer than Intel sockets.
I am not asking about which processor to get, AMD vs Intel, I just want to know which motherboard socket to buy that will last through a processor upgrade.
On a side note, how bad is the Haswell cooling issue?
