Hi Everyone,
I've been building since the k6-2 days, but the last system I built was in 06 with an Opteron 144. Due to work/life I haven't had or made the opportunity to upgrade since then.
I will use the system for graphic design, photo editing and occasional video encoding. No gaming interests really since I rely on consoles for gaming.
Anyway, I've been scouring the net for about 2 weeks trying to figure out the best bet for a processor/motherboard combo to meet my needs and retain a fair amount of upgrade ability life.
I'd like to stay under 120 for the processor. I've been looking at core 2 duo, and the phenom families. Any suggestions for processors or motherboards are welcome. Thanks
