Hello everyone, it's been some time since I've thought of upgrading my PC. It seems like CPU improvements has slowed down a little. I've been holding on my to i7 860 for almost 5 years now, and would like to switch to current gen CPU.
My main purpose of this cpu upgrade is to improve performance in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 and the slight speedboost from Sata 3.
I am thinking of only upgrading the Cpu and Mobo, and keep everything else. My PSU is getting old (bought in 2008) but still works fine.
The i7 4770 and i5 4760 seems like good choices. I will not be overclocking, so any entry level mobo would be fine.
Any comments or suggestions would really be appreciated, thank you for reading!
