4670K or FX8320

[Plasma Blazer]

I need help choosing the right CPU for my new gaming build and I need to know what is better for gaming and 720p video editing.

 

Here are the combos I picked:

 

4670K with an Asus Maximus VI Gene Motherboard and 8gb of DDR3-1600 RAM.

 

FX 8320 with an Asus Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 and 16gb of DDR3-1600 RAM.

 

Any help would be appreciated

4670K, more options with intel's chipset

just don't expect to overclock it too much :c

With video editing the FX 8320 will start to pull away from the i5.

If you are on a budget, get the 8320 and OC it.

If you can easily afford it, I'd say 4670k.

 

Edit: Also for 720p Editing, 8GB RAM should do the job just fine.

Get a 8320 if you can't afford the 4670K. They both are decent CPUs.

I wouldn't call 4670K a "decent" CPU. It is an excellent one. The 8320 is good enough though, but you save on price and the price of mobo as well.

i would spend 14$ more and get i7 4770K with Asrock z87 extreme 3 over i5 + asus any day .

 

or get the i5 with a cheaper mobo to save money

Goes over my budget

Get 4670k if you are lazy. FX8320 is a pain in the butt to oc it properly....

You can't be serious..

I said properly... Of course you can get the best cpu cooler just to have 1.55v on the core and 5 ghz but for that you also need a tank of a motherboard with rock solid voltage regulators and stuff. So my friend...at this budget, just get an intel CPU.

I'm pretty sure overclocking an FX-8350 is like a hot knife through butter. All you need is a 990 chipset and you can overclock on air cooling pretty well. I have a 970, I wish I got anything but lol.

 

-EDIT-

@OP - The AMD line is excellent budget, but the i5-4670k is a lot better for editing. I can speak from experience, the 8350 still does an OK job in editing, but I'm sure the i5 is all the better. Which do you need more, though? Budget or power?
