Intel CPU Intel 4790K

Hi I am building my first computer for video editing and I have a $2500 budget. I am just going to be editing gaming videos for YouTube and I am wondering if the Intel i7 4790k quad core processor is enough or if I should go for the Intel i7 5820k 6 core processor. any advice is appreciated thanks.

The 5820K will be faster at editing. Id'e get that personally.

Will the PC only be for video editing?

If it is, it may be beneficial to step up to the 5820K, but the cost of DDR4 and X99 Motherboards will increase the cost of your build compared to using the 4790K and DDR3 w/ a Z97 Motherboard. But your budget leaves lots of room for that, so don't worry.

However the 5820K would perform better in Video Editing and should be good for what you are doing.

Choosing one over the other here won't make a massive difference for gaming, as most games nowadays only use so many cores.

But there will be other replies, so read theirs too and use all the advice.

If you want better render times. get the i7-5820k. if you want to save money get the i7-4790k. it will still have decent render times.

 

With a $2500 budget you can get pretty much the best of the best, so if you think your channel is worth it, then get the highest performing parts.

 

Need recommended builds?

 

Do you already ahve a build you are thinking about?

if you ask me the 4790k is really good at rendering i think you can wait a bit longer its not like on hour or something its a few minutes

Just to throw it out there.

 

Here is a possible $2000 Build that features the i7-5820k, 64GB of ram, and plenty of storage to start with. It should run pretty quiet while not under load (while not rendering) as well, so you can have a quiet work environment.

I will say it's quite hard to hit a $2500 build.

If you have a bigger budget definitely go with a 5820k, 4790k is still a beast for its price though
