So I'm upgrading, rebuilding, or starting from scratch, whatever you prefer.
I'm not much of a gamer, but it is in the search for faster processing and better graphics that I am upgrading. I do have some budget, ie I'm not about to spend $500 for a CPU, but I'm willing to spend for assured quality.
I mainly do work with graphics, digital art, many-layered Photoshop evils which demand more than my current setup can provide.
Previously I built on a budget and whilst still on some monetary restiction, I am predominantly in the pursuit of and willing to pay for assured quality.
I have no preference between AMD amd Intel: just whatever is going to provide.
I currently run a 2.7mhz Pentium E5400 2Core with only 4GB RAM on an old Gigabyte board which is not worth building on anymore. Basically anything is going to be an improvement, but I am looking at making a jump to something perhaps just higher than mid-range.
Any suggestions will be duly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
