Hi All,
Posting for a friend, from another forum this is what hes looking advise on
Asus P8Z77-M Motherboard
I currently have a home PC with the Asus P8Z77-M Motherboard in it along with an i5-3570k cpu, 32gb of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 RAM and a Radeon HD7850 2gb graphics card.
What would be the logical upgrade to all of it. I am not really a PC hardware person.
It has to have PCI Express 3.x on it aswell.
Also the Micro ATX case is a bit restrictive with 2 Bluray players, 5x SSD drives 1x 3TB SATA drive and an internal multi card reader with additional USB 3 ports. However I don~t want to go full tower.
The computer is mainly used for Lightroom and Photoshop editing and is loaded with SSD drives.
Ideally I would like dual processors and more RAM but does that require going for server MB with more expensive DIMMs or can you get normal twin processor motherboards ?
AND NO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING FROM APPLE.
Lets say have 3 budget ranges
£0-1500
£1500- 2500
£2500 +
He will be along shortly to check out comments
