Some Linux hardware advice please
by thebiggiantmouse from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NKRZ)
My current system
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: EX58-UD3R Gigabyte Technology
Kernel: 5.10.56-1-lts
CPU: Intel i7 920 (8) @ 2.661GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 9500
Memory: 2940MiB / 7951MiB
I was gifted a 1060 by my friend who is upgrading to a 1660, I didn't install the 1060 because I was worried about cpu bottleneck. Is it worth it to upgrade the processor to an i7 990x or should i just invest in a new system. I plan on using this to to do some light video editing. I thank you for any advice anyone can provide
