Posted December 27, 2020 I think that the 9700 is going to be good for your neccesities since you are going to edit videos. The clocks are higher as well. I also recommend that your upgrade your GPU in the future since you can benefit from the NVENC encoder on a better card. You can also buy more storage in the future. This is the benefit of building or buying pc , the upgradability is awesome. And it is also better for future proof getting the 9700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9700 is on a dead platform and lacks hyperthreading. I'd go for a 10400 or a ryzen 3600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
