Currently i'm using a non overclocked i7 920 for, mostly, gamings, playng 1080i videos and some Adobe LIghtroom/Photshop.
For the most part i am happy with my system, but i feel the non-gaming part could benefit from the new features on modern chipsets, like native USB3 and SATA III.
So, i've been entertaining the idea of moving to a more modern platform, knowing the gaming part wont benefit a lot from it.
So my plan would be to choose something like one of the new Intel Haswell i3, or maybe a AMD FX 6300, so i can move into a more modern motherboard, while minimizing the investment in CPU, while waiting for Broadwell or Steamroller. I would only like to make sure i don't actually downgrade the CPU performance. Any thoughts?
(Im running 2.6 Ghz i7 920, Asus P6t Deluxe 2, 500 GB SSD, Nvidia 660 ti, and also a 1TB 5400 and an external USB3 3T disk, connected to a PCie USB3 controller)
