My current three year old build is as follows:
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX
Q9400 @ 3.30 GHz
8gb ram (two kits of mixed but closely matched ram (4x2gb))
Crucial M4 128gb SSD
eVGA GT 460 1gb vid card
Antec 500w Earthwatts PSU
(other components)
I'm considering this:
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H
i5 3570k processor
8gb Corsair ram
(same case, psu, vid card from previous)
What kind of boost in raw speed and responsiveness should I expect? Worth an upgrade from the P45 chipset. I game (fps, WoW) and edit photos (lightroom). No video editing for the most part as of yet. For those that have made this kind of upgrade what are your thoughts? Would you do it again?
Thanks,
Brent
