I presently have this six year old system:
WIN7 PRO (64)
MSI Platinum P-35 Mobo /
CoolerMaster ATX 690 /
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz/
8GB DDR2 RAM /
Nvidia GeForce 8600GT-128 Bit /
700w Thermaltake PSU / 1 Exhaust Fan- 4 fans cooler fans /
Zalman CPU CoolerFan
I want to (NEED TO) upgrade my six year old system in order to Video Edit AVCHD FULL HD, using Pinnacle Studio 15 HD Ultimate, and also using Photoshop CS6. I need much more memory and a much capable GPU, along with an upgraded version of the i7.
It's too confusing now, than it was when I built my present system six years ago. Too many choices for the 1150,1155,2011 sockets, as well matching up the Intel 4820K, 4770K, 3770K, etc., CPU's.
I want to stay ahead of the curve, but don't want to spend too much money. All I need is to upgrade, since I have all the other stuff, is the CPU, Mobo, DDR3 Ram, and a good GPU.
I would like to get an up-gradable motherboard with future capacity for 32GB MAX DDR3, 1600, or 1866, whichever is the better choice for EDITING.
As far as the GPU, maybe the GTX660, or better, (GDDR5, 512MB, or 1GB... lots of memory) AND the Mobo.. Maybe another MSI.....(I never had an issue) but I also have never tried ASUS or GIGABYTE, or other boards before.
Just wanting an all around desktop self build, to use WIN7 64, OFFICE, PHOTOSHOP, EMAIL, PINNACLE STUDIO, or PREMIERE to and EDIT HD video.
What are some sensible suggestions for this type of system? Thanks! Jim

Ok, I've been checking rplies for my Post, and nothing so far, soooo, I'm going to get this.......
To save money, I'm going to BUY:
(1) Z87-G41 & Intel i7 4770K (even though I do not overclock, or game) COMBO @ MC for $290.00.
(2) CPU HeatsinK - Artic Freezer- $24.99 (newegg) OR Zalman CNP52X 80mm Aluminum and Copper heatsink, (copper for better cooling) for $28.99 (newegg)
(3) Crucial 120GB SSD for O.S. / Programs OR Samsung 256GB SSD for O.S. / Programs.
(4) Corsair/Kingston 8GB DDR3 (1600Hz) PC12800 (some say the 1866, not much different)
AND WILL BE KEEPING MY PRESENT DEVICES FOR NEW BUILD.....
(1) ATX CASE, Cooler Master cm690, (I'll need header for Front USB/eSata/Audio/Mic/headphone 3.5" Slot. (present case has old 2.0 USB's/esata/firewire)
(2) Use the onboard i7's IGP, for HD Video Editing,or if that doesn't work, maybe get 2GB GeForce GTX-650Ti GPU
In fact, in a pinch, my Geforce 8600GT should also work with my G41, for the time being, since i do not play video games.
(3) And for internal storage,keeping my old WD74GB Raptor,10,000rpms, WD 2TB 72,000rpms, and WD500GB 72,000rpms.
(4) Use the Onboard Realtek HD Audio.
(5) Thermatake 700W ( It's six years old, and going strong, IF,....the pins will fit/certified to go into the 1150 Z87 Board)
I can't think of anything else at the moment, so I would imagine this will be sufficient.
Thank You, and have a nice day!
