Hi all,
I'm starting to plan my next PC build, however I'm wondering which direction to go with the processor.
I'm thinking between either the mainstream i7-8700K or perhaps looking at something a little higher, like the 8 core or perhaps the 10 core i7-7820X / i9-7900X.
It'll be my everything PC, lots of chrome tabs, usually some form of video (YouTube/VLC), Gaming with the option to Stream to Twitch with no issues, and starting Post Production in Adobe PP. Currently using Sony Vegas but I'll be doing a Bachelor of Film and the place uses Adobe PP. I'll be planning on turning the current PC into a render slave, so being able to scrub and edit the timeline without lag is preferred over super render throughput.
I currently use 4 monitors, 3x24 inch and 1x27 inch. None are 4K but I may look into getting a 4K monitor down the track, or at least something with 10 bit colour.
I won't mind spending that bit extra if the price to performance lines up, as I want this to last me at least another 3-5 years as my current PC just past it's 5th Birthday.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback in regards to the options :).
