Should I have went for 1366 instead of 1155?

Well the spec of my rig is bellow, I could have bought 1366 (i7 920) for the same price Should have I done that?

No.

1155 has an upgrade path.

Ok, thanks I am going to upgrade to a i5/ i7 later on, but was thinking about if I should have gotten a i7 920

i5 (SB or IB) being a "drop-in" upgrade is hard to beat, sell the G530 or gifting it on sweetens the deal. 1366 was great, right now 1155 is where it's at mainstream

What's difficult? I was saying that your 1155 board allows for dropping in a much faster CPU, where the 1366 platform you can only have either the 9xx quad core i7 (it doesn't matter which tbh, as the 920/30 overclocks so well) or the overpriced hex cores
