I put this together in 2010 - it's five years old and it's hard to believe it's lasted this long. Honestly, while I wouldn't mind things being even faster (they're still fast now ) it's really hard to say it'd improve anything. Maybe I've just got 'the itch' since it's been so long. Who knows?
Anyhow - aside from playing Batman and SWTOR, I will use 3ds max, revit, inventor, etc.
Current setup:
i7-920 - 3.6 on Noctua
ASUS P6T Deluxe
12 GB RAM (1600)
Main OS Win 8.1 on Crucial M500/ 500GB SSD
Storage 1GB WD Black
NVidia Geforce 980 (ok, that's newer than 2010 )
32" BenQ at 2560X1440
I suppose I sorta answer my own question in that i'm not exactly seeing anything I just have to speed up. Maybe a 3rd party confirmation that it won't be an overly meaningful upgrade is what I need? Still, what would I gain in a new i7 6 core build? Anything? other than less power consumption?
