If I stay on 1155, my i5 2500K will suffice me at least another year, and when it gets to tired I could replace it with say like an i7 3770K which I think will get the job done a couple of years into the future.
If I move over the new socket 1150 I'd have to get a new mobo as well as a new CPU, something like an i5 4670K or i7 4770K.
My question is, will I be better of putting down all the money for a full upgrade now, or will the old socket still have enough juice in it so that it will keep up with new games and software well in to the future? I hear the Haswell ins't much of an improvement regarding performance..

Stay on sandy as long as your i5 is at 4ghz your fine for gaming

Although your 2500k may not be the best overclocker, it will get the job done even at stock speeds until Broadwell or even Skylake comes out.
