In a previous thread in CPU's I had asked about Haswell vs its predecessor since I've been looking at a new CPU and Mobo.
Being otherwise busy I hadn't made the move but I'm trying to get it sorted now.
I basically have a desktop that died and I've decided to just replace the heart of the machine rather than the case, DVD drive etc. which are all fine - and then I can slowly upgrade other bits and pieces as time and finances allow.
It's not going to a gaming rig (apart from the occasionally wander into the gaming world when I have time) but rather an all-round home PC - although decent quality HD video playback would be nice.
I've been looking at i5 but might stretch for an i7 for the luxury, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to chirp in with any recommendations.
Again, it'll be a new mobo, CPU, and that'll also mean new RAM.
Cheers.
