worth upgrading or should I just build a new one?  Last
response: in Systems  I am having slowness and stuttering
problems doing video editing and large photo editing in CS5
Premiere and Photoshop. Running Windows 7 64.  Also when it
comes time to encode video, all 4 CPUs max out and it is fairly
time consuming.  Advice needed: should I upgrade my existing
system with more RAM, a new graphics card and an SSD boot drive,
or just do a whole new build?  My current system:  Gigabyte P-35
Motherboard Intel Q6600 CPU 4 MB of DDR2-800 RAM Nvidia 8600 GTS
GPU  I am contemplating buying 16 MB of RAM for $399, a new GPU,
maybe the Nvidia 570 that is supposed to come out next week, and
an OCZ 60 GB SSD drive for about $140. Also overclocking the
CPU, which I haven't done yet. The new components aren't cheap,
but are obviously cheaper than a whole new system.  Willl any or
all of these steps give a nice bang for the buck, or is it
throwing good money after bad
