PC Upgrade Choices?

[jakkuh_t]

I'm looking to upgrade my PC. I do gaming along with live audio mixing and video editing.

 

Location: Canada

No peripherals needed

I have no AMD/Intel/Nvidia preferences

 

Rig is in my signature, I'm currently thinking about upgrading the motherboard (FOR SURE) and the CPU to like a 9590 due to the recent massive price drop.

 

EDIT: Already got a new case, the Fractal Design Define R4

It seems like the FX-8320E overclocks quite well, you could go that route and save a bunch of money (invest into a better mobo). Tho if you're swapping out the motherboard and the CPU, there's always the recommendation of going Intel.

I got the same CPU and its fine for everything i do, does games, media, 3D drawing etc. however the new new FX ones are coming out that are more efficient and would be a good upgrade (8370 & 8370E). and i think for m/boards well if you got a good 990FX then you could use your FX6300 cpu in for now then swap that with a newer 8 core later on, and so a Sabertooth, or a M5A99 FX pro R2.0 is also good from Asus then there is a few good 990FX from gigabyte. or you could just go Intel but then you would have to pretty much spend more and start from scratch.

do you have any preference for ATX, M-ATX, M-itx?

you could also just put in another GPU the same and go SLi, hook up a good all in one liquid cooler and a 16 gig memory kit and you should be good to go.
