Re: $600 Intel i7-980x from a i7-950 or build a new system when budget allows?

My system currently is:

i7-950

Intel Extreme DX58S02 LGA 1366

16GB of ram at 533mhz

GTX 670

System drive is dual 256 SSD Raid 0 (occasionally imaged for restore if ever a failure)

3TB Work Drive 7200

3TB Render Drive 7200

1 90 GB cache/previews

Drobo S for photography only

 

When I was editing video from XH-A1 the 1080i was pretty taxing. I shoot with a XF100 now and most of the time I shoot 720p 60 and that edits way easier. The system has been running hot I just found recently when making mpeg files and I've had a few renders fail possibly to overheating. I just ordered a new cooler to help with that. Most of the work I do is Lightroom/Photoshop, but I have a lot of video to edit from all the dance recitals I've shot this spring. I mainly do a fast color corrector and not much else, but still like to dabble with personal projects with my D800 DSLR.

 

So maybe a 980, max ram with 1600Mhz, and a RAID-5 upgrade? I don't know if I'd gain much more at this point with spending more money on a Haswell when everything else is working pretty good...
