Hi,
I have a PC I only really use for occasional Lightroom (v6) editing, and it's pretty basic so I'm thinking of upgrading the CPU. The specs are:
G3258 @4.0ghz
ASRock H81M-HDS MB
8GB DDR3
240gb SSD
No dedicated gfx
I don't want to spend much so was thinking of going 2nd hand from CEX. I can get an i5 4440 for £70 or a 4460 for £75. My questions are:
1. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade considering my requirements?
2. Could I use my current stock cooler on the new CPU or would I need a new one?
3. Would I be better off putting my money into something else, maybe a gfx card?
Thanks all
