If you have zero need for intense workloads, get an i5. No point blowing 100 or more on a i7 if you're gaming and if you're gaming a little and doing work, get a 1150 Xeon instead.

I do gaming first, But I also do a  good bit of video editing.

BUT.. unless it's extreme editing, and a LOT of it over time, to be honest, the i7 will still not be worth it over the i5.

Plus, the more advanced of a program you render with, the ability to use your GPU is a thing, hence the extra CPU power is also meaningless when the GPU takes over that workload (Even if CPU still does some of that processing, i5 will suffice fine)

Hyperthreading though.......

Hyperthreading though.......

Look at my SIG.. I KNOW

It's not the best thing in the world anyway. SERIOUSLY, not until you get into SUPER SUPER SUPER heavy workloads.

Outputting 1080p video @ really high bitrates and fps settings,...IS NOT a heavy workload IMO.

You can get it if you want, but that $100 can be well spent elsewhere with more benefit.

$100 on top of.......existing moneys can get you - Better GPU, Better SSD, bigger mechanical drives for storage, cooling, lights and fans, random case mods...

Unless you plan on doing 3D animation, 4K rendering and chewing through 1-2GB PSD files, a i7 really is overkill for most things. 

 

A i5 overclocked is plenty for basic video rendering and photoshop/lightroom work. A Quadro/Firepro or even GTX card comes in handy more for GPU based rendering these days.

+1 for just an i5
