So I made a computer last year and as I got smarter and actually put some effort into research...I realized a couple places I went wrong. Primarily, my motherboard and CPU. I have an Intel 3550 and an Asus P8B75-V motherboard. I'm wondering if it'd be worth upgrading at all to something like an Asus P8Z77-V Pro and 3570K since I would probably overclock. I have someone offering to buy my mobo and cpu if I go through with it. Would it be worth the cash? Or would it be better to at least upgrade to a Z77 board? Another thing I might add is I'm looking at upgrading when Skylake, DDR4, PCIe 4.0 and the new SATA comes out.
So yeah..should I just stick with what I have and wait or is it worth holding on? I currently just game and other odds and ends.
Specs:
Asus P8B75-V
Intel i5 3550
MSI GTX 660Ti OC
8gb GSkill DDR3 1600MHz
850W gold cert. Antec PSU
Samsung SSD (Windows boot)
2 500GB HDDs (1 is storage and other is Ubuntu)
That's another thing..since the board I'm looking at has more than 1 6Gb/s SATA port, would that make a difference vs. the 3Gb/s ports I'm using for my HDDs? My SSD is hooked up to a 6 Gb/s
