This is a segway thread from my last thread... Basically I shined on getting a used LGA1156 45nm i7 cpu to finish my upgrade and am now considering completing my upgrade with a more current cpu/mobo.
My main intensive use of computer these days is image editing (16-bit raw files etc) and the next most is video editing...
I have 16gigs of Crucial (1333) DDR3 ready to go for this build.
My g-card is dated but still seems sufficient - Nvidia 7950GT
My PSU I think is still sufficient at 520 watts
SSD OS drive
3 data drives (1TB, 1TB, 1.5TB)
My remaining budget is basically as close to $200 as I can get for a cpu/mobo. Someone on the other post mentioned an ivy bridge quad core for $175, but I haven't found that deal yet. (Assuming that's an i5). I don't really care if it's AMD or Intel at this point I just want best bang for my buck for what I am doing...
Any recommendations?
