ugh. classic dilemma. i have some money saved and i can either replace my 6-core from three generations back or upgrade my GPU. i mainly use the PC for video editing. Everyone online has strong opinions, but most are about different use cases. If uve been in a similar spot, what did you do? Im leaning one way but would like some outside perspective. Which upgrade gave you the bigger improvement for your actual use, and do you regret the order you did it in?
THE UPGRADE THAT MADE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE FOR VIDEO EDITING lol
uhh does your board support any newer CPUs with a BIOS update? ?

mid-range GPU, a couple of generations newer than the 6-core from three generations back.
oh ive been there lol check whether your current board supports a newer CPU with a BIOS update. A drop-in upgrade is often the best value before changing platforms.
