Should I upgrade my Hackingtosh

[stevenwl]

So in December 2013 I built a hackingtosh with the specs seen below. I stuck quite rigidly to the 2012 buyers guide on Tony Mac. I'm just thinking about the future of my machine, how easily and cost effectivly I could upgrade it to push it's processing abilities. I use my machine for video editing (premier pro) and motion graphics (After Effects). I guess my quesiton is...
What would you guys advise I do in terms of upgrading my machine in the future? How much can I upgrade it before having to basically rebuild the whole thing?
If there is a limitation to what I can achieve then i'm tempted to sell the whole thing on and pick up a new MacBookPro.

The reason i'm thinking about this is that i'm traveling for 3 - 6 months in June, and I won't be taking my hackingtosh with me. So by the time I get back to it it may be time for an upgrade/ replacement anyhow.

Any information/ suggestions would be welcome.

You've got a socket 1155 Ivy Bridge system so there is really no way to upgrade the
cpu without getting a completely new motherboard. I'd keep this build going for a
few more years then build new with a Broadwell system or whatever is the newest
at that time. You may be able to increase performance now by doing some over clocking
of your CPU.

A GPU upgrade is all that you could do without rebuilding (plus it could help with video editing), otherwise as said above keep this baby rocking.

I agree with the other two. Keep your baby rocking. Once this fall 2014 when they release new hardware , then tonymac will
an update buyers guide and I would upgrade the motherboard and cpu etc.
