I am currently using a AMD Phenom II 550 @ 3.6GHz 3 cores enabled, 8GB RAM, SSD and an old Radeon 4830 and I do quite a bit of Flash, Photoshop and Video editing work. I have had this machine for about 2 years now.
I've got about £300 to spend on just a new CPU & Motherboard. I can get an OEM i7 2600K with a Asrock Extreme 3 Gen 3 z68 motherboard new within the given price, is it worth it for what I am doing?
I am not a heavy or even a moderate gamer just planning to play Witcher 2 during December when things are quiet!
Anyway, I do not want to upgrade to another AMD CPU since I will be using my current one as a second machine and do not want to spend any more money on it.
Would appreciate any feedback anyone might have.
