I've read that the 1155 socket has run it's course and was wanting something that would upgrade for at least one more cpu release. I'm planning on upgrading to steamroller if and when it comes out. The AMD seemed like the better upgrade path. Plus, the price of the Phenom was more within my budget.

My budget was $800. I should have mentioned that I already purchased most of the items. I bought the oem cpu because I was planning on getting an aftermarket cooler because I wanted to oc. The cooler and the cpu together cost $110. So still $30-$40 cheaper than a fx4100 and cooler.
