    @xbornsurviverx Yep it's all good.
    It's future proof for the next year or so until the i7 4770k comes out really.

    Match the supported LGA socket of your motherboard to the one the processor uses.

    No need to change, but I'd wait for the 4770K to release then get it. You'll have to change the motherboard for the 4770K then.
