Sounds like overkill in the three cases.
If your PC is a tool you use for your trade AND if you are very busy you
"could" need something that fast.
Like someone said here not long ago, a few seconds gained on rendition of
filters can add up and make you more productive at the end of the day.But
are you really that busy that seconds count?
Working with photoshop is made much easier with a multiple display system
and a good graphic tablet.
I would get two or three very good monitors and a calibrating tool instead
of gamers motherboards and chips.
