Sure will do if i don't go for it, i even have a 3570k spare too, the problem with 1155 is it's at the age where you don't want to spend funny money, in case it goes wrong.
You can buy locked new q77 boards and probably find a good 2nd hand z77 board.
But like everything it's the risk you take.
You can still pretty much all of the Intel range of motherboards. The Z chipsets are eye watering expensive, but decent enough B and H boards are still cheap.

nvm
My girlfriend's Z68 motherboard died about a year ago and I couldn't find a single Z68 or Z77 replacement on MM or the well known auction site. Had to get a new H77 in the end I think, which means her i5-2500K only runs at 3.7 GHz now.
