After seeing the massive disappointment of BD I've given up all hope of continuing down the AMD road. Now, I'm going to be honest, the main reason for me wanting to upgrade is to get a motherboard that isn't blue like my current Gigabyte board so that it will go with my upcoming case mod.
I currently run a 1055T, 890GPA-UD3H, 8Gb RAM system. The plan is to upgrade to a i5 2500K and Asrock Fatal1ty P67. The question is, is it worth the money? My main priorities are gaming, general use and spot of media encoding and a ton of 3D editing/rendering in After Effects. What sort of improvements would I see?
Also, is x78 going to be a possibility or is it likely too expensive? Would a i7 2600 be a better choice, taking into account the large price jump? I also plan of overclocking, what sort of gains should I see by OCing the 2500K?
