Hello everyone,
I currently have a core i5 3570 3.40 Ghz. I have 12 Gb(DDR3 1600Mhz) of RAM, an MSI GT 610(which i intend to upgrade really soon) and finally i just bought a new SSD of 120 gb. The twist now is to be able to use the full capacity of the SSD i will need to upgrade my board to the MSI B75A-G43 as my current msi H61M does not support sata3. I would like to ask you, since i am on a tight budget- is this pc as from now going to be still performant on a lapse of 5 years ? I intend to use it for photo editing(Lightroom, Photoshop) and also very soon going to start film editings. Can you advise me whether i should acquire the board to have a good performance or i just better sell off the ssd and save the motherboard money for a new pc very soon ?Thank you everyone in advance for your precious input.
