What started as a minor upgrade ballooned into a system overhaul, as I am sure some of you have also experienced.
Currently i7-4770k (not overclocked)
4x4 gb of 1333 ram (max potential 32gb)
750w 80+Gold corsair model.
The current GPU is the measly gt630.
I originally slumped on upgrading the GPU because I had heard video rendering and encoding was primarily cpu based. But now I'm learning about GPU acceleration. Currently primary goals is smooth playback during premiere. Haven't branched into After effects yet, but it is in my future.
Sluggishness isn't too common, but it is noticeable. I tried editing a video effect using 9 1080 videos collaged, and it was unbearable at 5760x3240. Obviously a more niche application, but made me wonder if investing in GPU acceleration was a good idea.
Saw that 760 had great price per value from benchmarks, and because I have a pitiful GPU anyway, any upgrade would be worth it. No need for 770 and up, right?
With such considerations, 760 worth it? Which manufacturer? Futureproofing is nice.
P.s. Is RAM also in need of an upgrade? Also hasn't been changed since last build.
