I will be upgrading to an intel cpu and a matching motherboard, I need a lga 1150 cpu that has amazing multitasking capabilities and can blaze through video rendering. my budget for a cpu is 400$ and my motherboard budget is 200- 250$. Any ideas?

LGA 1150 isn't really made for video rendering so that's why he recommended that

 

Here are my recommendations:

 

CPU:

1150

How much are you willing to spend on RAM?

For LGA 1150 your best bet will be an OC'd 4790k. However the 5820k completely dominates it as it has 2 extra cores / 4 extra threads. 

 

Do you live near a microcenter?

170 for mobo after rebate. 320 for CPU, additional savings of 20 for the cpu/mobo combo = 470.

184 for 32GB of DDR4 ram.

 

Total 654 dollars + tax

 

Also I've personally OC'd that ram to 2400mhz CL 15.
