i7-4790k or i5-4690k for gaming?

[DrMolo]

I'm buying my first gaming computer that i would like to be able to do video editing for my friend, so is the 4790k really worth the extra $130?

[CyanOG]

You can still video edit on the 4690k

 

the FX-8320/8350 would be better for editing though than 4690k

[JoshM]

No, this is like the third or fourth time i have seen this question, please people read previous threads/ search for them.

See link in sig.

 

Also, the 4690K still edits, but the 4790K is better at it. If that $130 is the difference between a better GPU, get the 4690K.

4690K will OC pretty well if you get a good cooler, making it surpass many other processors in performance, including the 8350.

Unless you are doing pro level work, just go with the i5-4690K.  If you are rendering huge videos constantly, the time difference can add up, but if it's just once in a while it's not worth it.

[Enderman]

$130 for a 50% reduction in time? No, not worth it for you.

[DrMolo]

Clearly the 4690k is a winner but what about when i'm playing CPU intensive games like arma 2 and arma 3? How well would it hold out and would there but much of a performance impact if any?

[TheKDub]

4690K, it will do just fine.

[Cokeman]

If you are doing intense video editing or rendering the 4790k is worth it. But for gaming its not.

They aren't really any different for games, even CPU-intensive games.

consider a xeon e3 1231 v3 it costs $10 more than the i5 but has hyper threading.

But i think I'll go with the 4690k and save me two months worth of cutting lawns...

Thanks guys
