Approximate Purchase Date: Black Friday / Cyber Monday
Budget Range: 1500 +/- without drives or monitor
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Lightroom / Photoshop / Java Development / Web Development / Web Browsing / No gaming
Existing System:
Thinking to keep
Storage: 2x 500Gb SSD in Raid 1, 2x 4tb HD in Raid 1, 2x 3tb HD in Raid 1
Power Supply: Corsair 750HX
Monitors: Dell 2560x1440 + 3840x2160
Thinking to replace:
CPU: i7-3770k, MB: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H, Mem: 32gb (8Gb x4 GSKILL 1866), GPU: Asus Radeon HD 6950, Drives: 1x 128Gb SSD, DVD
Might keep:
Cooler: H100i
New System:
I'm thinking a new I7 or Xeon CPU, Cooler, suitable MB, single GPU, new 250Gb SSD for caches, case with enough USB3s, fans and 32 or 64Gb of memory will give me a new machine that will not feel quite so much like molasses in LR.
Thoughts?
No overclocking (other than basic, 100% safe), no lights, plain ATX(?) mid tower case with enough bays. No optical drive, I'll use a USB one when necessary.
