I am building my pc for my 2d graphic design job. Now my last part to put in is the cpu as I have already got everything else in place; it's a jumbo update for me in a while:
1. Board: Maximus VI Hero
2. VGA: GTX 750ti
3. RAM: 4GBx2 Transcend
4. SSD: Crucial Micron M550 128GB
5. HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ABA200V 2TB
6. PSU: Corsair TX850M Enthusiast Series
7. Case: Antec Nine Hundred
8. Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC12DX
9. TIM: 2g SHIN-ETSU X23-7783D
10. OS: Win 7 (is it worth to update to Win 8.1)?
11. CPU???!
My main purpose is make sure it can handle Photoshop CC fine with my billboard banner designs which are mostly 3m+. And I also play some graphic intensive games like Street Fighter, MaxPayn, Dragon Age, and DotA2.
I first considered i7 4770K, but some ppl said it's overkilled. (Is it because it's the most powerful?)
My currently aging system crashes a lot, so I think it's time to say goodbye to this Core 2 Duo.
