i3 for Video Rendering?

[Abeed]

So i'm building my new build and a tittle bit confused about it. So heres the build:

 

CPU: Intel core i3 4150

GPU: GTX 750ti ASUS

RAM: 8GB 1333MHz

Mobo: MSI H81M-E34   

PSU: 430W Corsair 80+

 

I posted a previous thread trying to know about gaming with this rig and i guess it should handle skyrim at medium quite nicely. Now the main problem arrives. I'm also a youtuber and will do some basic tutorials, gaming videos and by the

word basic i mean really "BASIC" Well now the problem is my Processor which is an i3!!!! so how is it gonna handle editing. Not 3d to be clear.

go amd.

[themaniac]

the i3 will be just fine for video rendering

[Enderman]

it will stil work for video editing, but it will be slow.

go AMD instead, and you will get better performance per dollar.

I would agree butg he already has the socket meaning he could upgrade to an i5/i7 for the same cost.

Get a FX 8320, the prices has been recently slashed and the performance is great for the money,  if you can OC it a bit it will help a lot.

Oh I thought he was building this from scratch? I didn't know he already had the parts...

if i understand it right he already has the i3

He said he was building it.

If he already has the i3, I guess it's ok until he can save up for something better (it's 1150 after all).

eggxactly, i want it to be an upgrateable machine. i love eggs btw

[Abeed]

there might be a mistake @[member=Vorticalbox]. I didnt build it yet

If you still have to buy the mobo and CPU, for the money the 8320 is a beast, you can later add an aftermarket cooler (like the Be Quiet! Shadow rock 2, that always goes on sale for like $30), and then OC it.

It's up to you, if you buy the i3 today, to have to wait a whole year to drop an i7 into that socket, it's not worth it. But if you just want to have a functional computer today, and in 6-8 weeks upgrade the i3 might be worth it.

IMO I just prefer the FX chip today and maybe in 1-2 years replace it with something else. It's a good CPU, the platform is seen as old but it has everything you could need, it's still current and viable.

oh in that case don't bother with the i3, i have an i3 and it takes an age to render anything.

 

I was rendering a 20 second 200 fps video down to 24 fps for nice slow mo and it took almost an hour (not sure if good or not but felt a long time for me)
