I would like to upgrade my system and focus on working with graphics. RAW images, not video. I would like to be able to run through my HDTV projector (HDMI or Component) if I like, but would mainly be working with a monitor.
I am not really interested in PC Gaming.
I have a large rack mount case that, I think, will accept most motherboards. I have some good SATA drives that I can swap to a new build. My power supply is about 300W, so I think that I should upgrade. Have a fair DVD writer. Have a good sound card, but would also be good with a board that has 7.1 sound.
FWIW I am using XP Pro. Haven't kept up lately, but Vis-Duh was having a lot of question marks. Has it been debugged? Might upgrade to it later.
Budget is not a big factor. I am primarily looking at load and manipulation speed for my digital image graphics.
I guess i should be looking at
Mobo
CPU
Memory
Power Supply
Video card
maybe some good drives.
