Hello friends
I need to buy a Processor. I will use it mainly for daily computing like browsing, office, playing casual games only (no hardcore gaming) and watching multimedia content. I have started to indulge in Image Editing (Photoshop and others) and DAW (Cubase etc) twice a week on my Dual Core E5200 2.5 GHz Processor and its awfully slow. I will be upgrading the whole system, so I'm starting out with the Processor. I'm leaning towards i5 2400. Is it good enough for what I explained above, or should I go with i5 2500K or one step further with i7 2600K? What is the difference between all these processors in terms of performance? Is there way too much difference? Please help me. Remember price does matter. I can go up to 2600K only if needed, I don't want to waste too much money or bottleneck processor unless truly required.
Thanks in advance
