Hey Guys

I'm planning out a new build and trying to decide which cpu is better for me. I'll mostly be gaming, but I'll also be doing some light video editing. I'll be using an Asus Direct CU II GTX 780 for my GPU.Thanks in advance!

As has been said, go for the 4670k.

The difference is Hyperthreading, which will only give you like 2% better performance in games.

It's a ton helpful for heavy editing, but based on light editing, it's not worth the extra cash.

At its best that hyperthreading is worth 20% extra performance. In video encoding its more like 5%-10% practically and in games its rarely anything although in BF4 its a reasonable gain. Its quite expensive however and its not used well very often.

I would get the 4670K since you will be doing light video rendering and you can spend the extra money on something else like a 840 Evo SSD. :)
