I'd like to upgrade a system I build 6+ year ago (Q6600) as I'm having real trouble editing 1080p 60fps video now.
As I'd love to avoid a fresh reinstall of Win 7 I'm trying to stay in the Asus family of MBs to ease the upgrade as much as possible (does that make sense?)
I'll be reusing my SSD and PS so I'm looking at:
i7-4770k
Zalman CNPS9500 AT cooler
Asus Z87-PRO
16b of Crucial Ballistix Sport - 1600 memory
I'd love to keep this under $800 (could go to $1000) but am unsure about upgrading the vid card. Right now I have an old nvidia 8800 gts.
I use Sony Vegas for most of my editing so there is some potential for GPU accelerated rendering but I'm not sure where the best bang for my buck in vid cards is. I might also start playing BF4 when it come out.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
