I'm thinking of upgrading to a X5650 with a X58 Motherboard (Asus Sabertooth X58) and I currently have a B85 system with a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB.
Here's the thing: I currently have 520Mb/s on this board, but the motherboard I want supports Sata III but apparently it's a Marvel controller, and people say it's bad if not worse than Sata II, and I have a few questions...
1- Will I notice that big of a difference between Sata III and Sata II?
2- Is a PCI-E Sata card worth it? And will I be able to boot through it on my motherboard? (I know they're poo but check this one out)
3- Should I just not upgrade?
Current system specs:
Intel Core i5 4690 3.5GHz (3.9Ghz Turbo Boost)
kingston HyperX FURY 8GB DDR3 1866Mhz
ASRock B85M Pro4
EVGA GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB Sata 3 (OS)
Western Digital Blue 1TB Sata 3 (secondary drive/recordings)
Western Digital Blue 500GB Sata 2 (backup)
Corsair VS650 PSU
I really want some 6 core overclocking action because locked processors are boring and so is 4 cores for rendering. 😛
Pls halp!
