8350 to 4790k or 4690k for photoediting.

So I have had my fx 8350 black for almost 3 years now. There are some pretty tempting deals on both the i7 and i5 skews this black friday/cybermonday. I primarily do photoediting on my computer with occational gaming. I know going with the i7 will privide a great improvement when it comes to videoediting but i was wonderingwhat the effects were on the photoediting side. Is it reall worth the extra $80 usd to get the i7 or is it better to save the 80 for a future graphics card upgrade?

i5 wouldn't be much of an upgrade.

5820K is the best option IMO.

Ya the 5820k would be nice but the cpu alone would be $100 more than the 4790k and then the motherboard itself would be at least $75 more than the one i would get now. Would it just be best to wait until like spring time when i have enough money to afford that?

I would say if you want a real upgrade move to the 5820k. The 4790k would be a step up but not worth it. 6 intel cores with 12 threads would be a sweet upgrade though.

Yes. Or maybe just wait for the next iteration of processors. 14nm is on the horizon. I would wait for that if I had to wait for something.
