I burn a few films and my own captured video to DVD for friends and family and the odd photo touch up in photoshop/gimp, I am thinking of upgrading my antiquated Dell XPS 420 with it's quad core Intel Q6600 2.4gh multithreading processor and 4gb of DDR2 6400 ram. It also has a HD 3800 Graphics card. (Said it was old)
My question is, if i upgrade to a new system using a i5 4690k will i miss the hyperthreading or will it simply blow my socks off and do everything much much quicker?
I had been considering the i7 4790k but i am trying to keep my budget down in the £600 - £800 price range and still be able to have a go at overclocking.
New setup will probably include: Asus Z97A mobo, Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card,
Arctic Cooling UCACO-P0900-CSB01 Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler and Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory. Plus whichever processor i need.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.
