I've been a member a long time, but haven't posted in a few years owing to work commitments.
My rig is four years old, albeit with a bunch of upgrades over the years. My main use is for photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) followed by business applications. No gaming. I may go into video editing in a while as I incorporate that into my photo biz.
Current System:
Asus P6X85D-E mobo LGA 1366
i7-930 2.8Ghz
Win7 64 Home
16GB DDR3 12800 (could be 24GB if I install my upgrade copy of Win7 64 Pro - I don't want Win8)
Samsung 840 Pro SSD 256GB
3 additional internal HDs for storage and internal backup. Several external HDs.
EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTS250 1GB DDR3 2200Mhz
Seasonic S12 650W power supply
I'm not sure if a performance gain would be worth it to swap out mobo and cpu. GPU is fine for what I do now but not sure that would be okay for video editing.
Any insights would be great. Thanks!
