Hey guys,
I'm having trouble figuring out the most effective upgrade I can invest in. Planning to do the update this month, and have approx. $4-500 for it.
Currently, I have the following:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 @ 3.50 Ghz
GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270X
They are on an ASUS B85-PRO GAMER motherboard, and I am running a dual monitor setup (both are 1920x1080).
The system runs decently, but I feel that an upgrade is needed.
For my work, I use Photoshop/Illustrator with rather large files, every day and these could definitely be sped up a bit.
Furthermore, I do watch a lot of videos, quite often whilst a game is in the loading screen, and when I tab back into the game it is jittery for a few seconds - and if I maybe leave open a stream while trying to play, it moves into the seriously disturbing version of jittery... And having more than one stream open is definitely a no-no at this point.
Which upgrade to you think would yield the most result? And to what should it be upgraded?
Thank you!
