Mobo & CPU Etc Upgrade

[justintime2001]

I am thinking of upgrading my mobo & processor. My system is only used for Photoshop, web design, desk top publishing, accounts work and other similar programmes however I often have several of these programmes running simultaneously and this can slow things down a bit. Can anyone suggest a processor and mobo combination that would give my system a decent enough boost to make it worthwhile? I don’t have a budget in mind but don’t want to over spend either.
My current system consists of: Core i7 2600 3.4GHz - Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 - 16Gb RAM - Crucial CT256MX 100 SSD – Samsung 1Tb HDD - Gigabyte 1GB GTS450 OC - XFX XXX 650W PSU.

Your advice and expertise would be appreciated, thanks.

Are all the programs you use installed to your SSD?

From the sounds of the programs your hardware is MORE than capable.

Yes they are installed to the SSD.
