I am looking to purchase a new machine because my current machine died on me. I do a lot of photoshop, video editing and AutoCAD work and hardly play any game. I want a really fast machine that has a SATA raid, a couple PCI slots and will work with my ATi x1950 crossfire video card.
I am stuck on what chip I should go with. Do I get a x4 chip with a faster speed or should I get x6 that is slower but able to multi task better. From what I have read online AutoCAD only uses 50% of a multi core setup. The other thing is that this machine needs to last for a couple of years.
I need some help deciding what direction I should go in. The motherboard I am looking at is the GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3
