I have been getting the itch to upgrade but I don't really know if it would be worth it. Is the new generation stuff a significant jump or should I wait a year or two?
What I use my PC for besides basic internet use.
- Encoding movies/video editing (not often) and some picture editing (not often)
- Ripping DVD/Blu-ray collection
- Gaming, but I split it up with a console. I basically play anything but FPS on the PC
- Folding@home (in the winter when its cooler in the house)
My current rig
OS - Win 8 64bit
mobo - GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-S2P (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3451#ov)

I know my RAM isn't the fastest and the GPU is crap, but if I upgrade my GPU I'm probably gonna need to upgrade my PSU then I'm gonna say F it and want to build a all new rig Haha.
