Socket 1155 dead already?

So about two months ago I finally bought my new gaming PC (after being about 5 years away from PC gaming lol)

After extensive research and budget handling I went with the system in my tag. Built it and overclocked it and I am incredibly happy.

But I've been thinking. With all these new sockets coming out already and new CPU's have I made a mistake for future upgrades.

I know games get better and tech evolves quickly but I thought in a few years Id be able to drop in a new CPU and maybe go SLI or even just frop in a new GPU architecture to get games still looking their best but is the 2700K really as far as I'll ever be able to go now? Will intel ever bring out better CPU's for this socket?

Have I failed with my computer already haha

What for my motherboard?

I thought Ivy Bridge CPU's were for a new socket motherboard? This is great news if Im wrong though

Ah great are there any links you could guide me too with info on things like proposed improvements and things?

Is PCIe 3.0 going to be an issue though in the future. Is it going po be like AGP was when PCIe was released?

I didn't think GPU's used the full PCIe bandwidth as it was so I was surprised about the new Radeon supporting the new standard.

Why would it be an issue?

I mean like when card campanies stopped AGP and just went to PCIe. Will they stop 2.0

Well thanks for all the info guys Thats made me feel much better about my new system. I doubt games will struggle for a while yet anyway but I just didnt want to have to blow another 1200 quid again in a year or so lol
