Hi, I came here to ask around if it is a normal thing to just upgrade your cpu and motherboard to a newer generation instead of building a whole new rig around whatever you were planning to upgrade on. Right now I have an i5-2500 at 3.3ghz and it sits on an asus sabertooth z77. I was looking to upgrade to something new and with a bit more umph to keep up with how fast software is evolving. If anyone has any tips, Id love to hear.
Ps: Currently have a Radeon 6950 for my gpu. Really wanting to upgrade that. I feel that my want to upgrade my gpu is my reason for my want to upgrade my cpu, so that I may avoid bottlenecking.
Thanks,
Preston
