I'm torn between a balls-in upgrade or a toned down budgeted upgrade system. I'll keep this short and sweet though to what I want. Basically it will have to be for Gaming and Video editing. I want to know what sort of difference performance wise I'd expect to see if I had them side by side.
First Choice - Cheap Options
i5 2500k (£160), Simple P67 Board (£100), 8GB RAM(£60), Harvest my old machines PSU, Case and Drive and GFX (temporarily) til I get a 6850. Sell my old bits in a cheap casePSu bundle for £200, Keep my 22" Monitors
Second Choice - Balls In Option
i7 2600K, P67 Sabretooth, 16GB Ram, Corsair 130 quid case sexy case, New good PSU, BluRay drive and 6870/6950 GFX and upgrade to a good 24" clarity screen.
Both will also have 2x 1TB Raid0 Sata 6Gbp/s drives and a Black Magic Intensity Pro capture device and another hrd drive for that, Both Procs would be overclocked to 4GHz at least.
What you think, worth the ball-in option even though I'm not minted? My computer is my life so I dont mind spending the extra but not sure ifits the right route. Or would I be better with a 6 core AMD build?
