Hello, I am currently using an AMD Phenom II X4 945 paired with a Gigabyte GA-770-UD3 motherboard. An opportunity has fallen onto me where I can purchase an i5 3570K and ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 for $185. I figure I can sell my current CPU and motherboard for $85 which will make my upgrade $100.
The AMD is "enough" but has started choking when it comes to big files in PS. Will the i5 run noticeably better?
PS aside, what do you guys think about the deal?
I've been out of the loop (as you can tell by my CPU ) so any input is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
