New build to solve memory mangement crash
I'm currently running Win 10 on an Asus P6TD Deluxe with i7 920, 12gb (6 x 2gb) of corsair CMX6GX3M3A 1600 C9 memory and a 250gb SSD for the OS. I have the processor over clocked to about 3.6ghz
I used to primary for photo editing and am finding Adobe Lightroom on the sluggish side but also have problems with constant memory management crashes when exporting photos. These have happened for a long time, even when I was running Win 7. Since then a complete Win 10 rebuild didn't solve it so I'm assuming it's a hardware issue. I've tried various mem tests etc which all report no probs. Wanting to solve both the general speed and crashing issue I'm thinking of giving in and going for a significant upgrade.
I'm looking at a Asus prime Z270A board, with 16gb (2 x 8) of DDR4 3466 memory, and an i7 7700K. I may up the SSD to 500gb at the same time. I intend to keep the same case, power supply (550w) and graphics card (GTX760).
For my main task of editing photos, exporting them from lightroom etc, can anyone comment on how much faster this manchine is likely to be. It's obviously going to be a cost outlay but if I solve the crashing and get a performance boot then it will be worth it. If there's not noticeable performance change then I might be better just gambling on trying some new memory in the current system.
Any thoughts would be really helpful. Cheers
