Hi
Could anyone please give me a bit of upgrade advice.
I currently have a Pentium Dual Core E6700 2.66 ghz with 8GB Ram,
Radeon HD4870 1GB Graphics Card, with Windows 7 64 bit
The Motherboard is an AsRock P43DE
I don't use the pc for gaming, just general use, Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge
Photoshop is a real system hog and with the extra large file sizes it creates it slows the pc down quite a bit.
Would it be worth putting a bigger dual core chip like the E8500 3.16ghz, a Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66ghz
or going the route of an i5 or i7 Overclocked bundle
Would an i7 be a bit much for what I would be using it for
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Graham
