Since I have my eight month coop/internship, I decided to upgrade my machine. Currently, I am running:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Motherboard
Intel Q9550 Core 2 Quad (Overclocked to 3.5Ghz)
4x2GB (8GB Total) Mushkin Blackline Ram
Windows 7 Professional
1.5TB HD 7200RPM
Geforce GTX 275
I just placed an order with New Egg for the following:
Intel i7 2600K
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P
128GB Crucial SSD
4x4GB G-skill Sniper DDR3 (16GB total)
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
Asus DVD Drive
Reusing my power supply, graphics card and case...
I plan to upgrade the graphics card in a few months. All programs and operating system will be located on the SSD drive while all the media is on my 1.5TB internal HD.
I can't wait to get it all installed and going. I hope to overclock the new rig beyond 4.5GHz, hopefully! Should be done next week... Currently backing up all my stuff on my external HD
I use the comp mainly for photo editing in Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop, HD video editing and some gaming (FSX). Look forward to the performance increases!
