Now I'm not trying to start a fanboy war thread I just want to to know what is better. I can get a phenom 2 955 x4 and a AM3 mobo for the same price as a 1156 and i5 750, but I want upgradeability in the future, and from what people have told me, AMD motherboards never need to be switched out but intel do, and I personally HATE switching motherboards for new socket types and wasting hundreds of dollars.
But then again performance wise the i5 750 wins in almost all cases and seeing as the i5 750 is the same price but packs more of a punch in just about everything that would be the best bet, would it not? But if in a year or so AMD releases a new phenom or something like that I could buy that and just stuff into my motherboard, but from what I've seen 1156 have no current upgrade path.
Anyones opinion would be great, but try to stay on topic.
