Looking for opinions on what to do with my main rig
the most difficult things i foresee doing are
games that i cannot play on the HTPC
Picture editing.. this can be slow as i sometimes stack pics that need to be integrated dependent on focal planes
possibility of running quite demanding work related modelling tasks (where multi core would be useful)
already have
Case,
PSU
RAM
SSDs
GPUs
what i am looking for is opinions on whether to upgrade my CPU/Mobo?
at present the current motherboard is damaged so i can either
get a new x58 board
sell the i7 920 and get a new board+CPU
a board is required either way to support Xfire with some space between cards
im a bit out of the Chipsets progress at present.
What would you do?
