Hi,
I have been out of the hardware loop for a long time and need some advice on which way to go for a new system.
Current system is quite old.
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU + intel DG965Wh 3GB ram, GTX 550TI DDR5 1GB.
Should I be looking at LGA 2011 or 1155?
I7 or I5? or wait for the Haswell? (dont know much about any of these)
I am on a budget around $1000 -1200.
Though it has been a long time since I bought a PC so i would like to get one that will be relevant (for me) for a few years.
Approximate Purchase Date: next two months
Budget Range: $1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing - web development -Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: pretty much everything - perhaps not Graphics card if my GTX550 TI wont drag down a new system
I do have 4 x 2gb pc3 -10600e ram (not sure if its superseded by a lot)
Do you need to buy OS: yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: local wholesaler http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=4
unless they are overpriced
Location: Australia QLD Goldcoast
Parts Preferences: INTEL CPU Nvidia Graphics
Overclocking: Maybe not sure why or how
SLI or Crossfire: not in the short term
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: Quiet, Bling not important (too old for that
)
Games - currently planet side 2
Sony vegas
Gimp
Sharepoint
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: games FPS is really bad, video editing and conversion takes along time
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts. Please do not post only links.
