Hi,
I'm wanting to upgrade my Q8200 based system - I'm finding it a bit sluggish. My main uses are Photo editing (CS6), document creation (InDesign) and some occasioanal video editing. My main issue has been creation of A0 plus documents - I'm currently running 16GB RAM.
I've been looking at the Intel i5 3570K, as it has good reviews, but mainly for gamers - I don't even have Solitaire installed, so no requirement there really. Is this CPU the best route for my budget (the i5 fits my budget perfectly) or should I be looking at something else?
Also, seeing as I'm not interested in gaming, will I be able to use the on-board graphics OK, or should I be looking at a descreet graphics board? My only realy requirement here is the ability to run at a resolution of 2560 X 1440.
Thanks
Rob
