Hi there,
Next year I'll be assembling a new (and more) powerful computer, but 'til then I'd like to do a quick upgrade on a 6 years old computer which was initially built for video editing. Nothing special, just a regular computer to be able to edit videos.
Right now, I feel the need to upgrade this computer (on a small scale) to at least be able to let it feel fresh and it to be able to be faster on the rendering and stuff.
System:
CPU:
QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 1600 MHz (6 x 267)
Mainboard:
MSI P43 Neo (MS-7519) (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN)
Mainboard Chipset:
Intel Eaglelake P43
DIMM 1:
Kingston 2G-UDIMM
2 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 Mhz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 Mhz)
DIMM 2:
Kingston 9905316-153.A00LF
4 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 Mhz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 Mhz)
DIMM3:
Kingston 9905316-153.A00LF
4 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 Mhz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 Mhz)
BIOS Type:
AMI (06/11/08)
GPU:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1024 MB)
No SSD hard drives, just SATA.
I was thinking about upgrading my graphics card to an ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5. More memory, better speeds, etc.
Would that make a BIG improvement already? Or is it better to invest in RAM or CPU? I'm just looking for a small upgrade to fill the gap of building a new computer next Feb/Mar with the best results (and not too expensive -- I can grab a used ASUS GTX780 for $330).
Thanks for any help!
