If you plan a upgrade that's gonna last at least 3 years i would go for LGA 2011 with I7 39xx cpu.
Those are the fastest CPU's today. You get a 6 Core CPU doing 12 threads. You could go for the cheaper 3820K. Though it is a quad core CPU it's also about half the price of a 3930K which is worth considering. In the end, the wallet has to vote to smile

Most of the new LGA 2011 motherboards (if not all) offers the new PCIE 3.0 slots.
I just upgraded to this and it's simply amazingly fast.

In Black Death i get an average on 42fps and max 68fps with my rig running in 1920x1080 all settings maxed out.
All smooth with one exception in Black death. That's when a bomb goes up on the runway, in close-up, where it drops down to about 20fps. But that's my gfx cards fault smile

This is on stock speed as I'm not much of an overclocker. I prefer stability smile
