Is it time to buy a new CPU (or MB)?
I presently have an ''Intel Core i5-760'' CPU sitting on an ''ASUS P7P55D-E LX'' motherboard with 12G of RAM and an ''ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series VGA card'' I won't be able to afford a new computer for a year or two but I thought maybe I could afford to upgrade it some. From the little I understand, the specs of the new generation of my CPU show an interesting boost in performance and even reduced power usage so I was wondering if I should upgrade to it--from the Intel Core i5-760 to the i5-3350P?
Of course it wold be nice knowing if this would imply also having to get a new motherboard, if my present one isn't compatible, etc.
Why would I want a boost? Two reasons, really liking Photoshop CS6,to me the faster the better and also since some games prefer something better than what I have.
etc. Thank you
