Mostly my PC is fine, but can be slow with Photoshop when it's compositing a panorama from several photos, despite 16GB of RAM.
So looking for motherboard / cpu / memory suggestions.
I already have an SSD for Windows, another one with most of the programs on, a couple of HDDs which are mirrored, a case I'm very happy with, and a decent almost new PSU.
I suspect any modern mobo will have gigabit ethernet and sound and enough USB (the case has an external USB 3 port), and at present I'm using the built-in graphic from an AMD motherboard which I fine for what I do. I do need DVI & display port outputs. The one reason for a separate graphics card might be being able to run calibration against both monitors - one is an Eizo, the other a Dell.
I'm partial to Gigabyte mobos, the case will take ATX but have used mATX for the past few builds and I'd prefer mATX.
PS budget - up to £400.
