When I was doing SD editing, this system was fine, however, like many others have said on this forum, many crashes are occurring and I'm editing AVCHD instead of SD. I've listed my current specs below:
-Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155
-ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 Motherboard
-HIS H467QR1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
-Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal System Drive
-COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler
-Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power Supply
Now that I'm editing AVCHD, what upgrade(s) would provide the most improvement for smoother editing and faster encoding? OR, should I scrap the whole system (by this, I mean give to a coworker for regular word processing, web browsing type work) and build a new system?
