Incoming i5 4690k recommendations 

 

If its mostly for those things, A Xeon E3-1231v3 would smash other options for the same price

I want to buy a new cpu but I don't know what exactly I need

 

I want to mainly use it for multimedia, video/photo editing etc.. if you could help me out that would be great, Because I don't want to spend too much money

 

Thanks.

How much is 'not too much money' and is that including a motherboard?

And also, do you have a AMD/Intel preference (or will you upgrade sooner or later and don't want to change motherboard)?

If he is willing to go to the used market, a Xeon X5650, is a good choice as well

Absolutely :)

 

 

Not if you want to overclock for high single core peformace  ;)

 

Because single core "performace"will totally make a difference when your rendering a 4k video or watching the powerpuff girls ;)

Xeon  E-3 1231v3 Costs the same price as an i5, Same performance as the i7 without the iGPU.

This. So much this. i7 4770 for i5 price. i7 to i5 Difference being having hyperthreading which helps in what you listed. Video editing and what not.

 

Also, if you can afford, i7 5820k would also be a good option. A good value chip when you consider the cost per core.

True but for gaming wich i hope this guy is planning to do also :o

The xeon will still be fine for gaming, it will be very close to as good as the 4690k in low threaded games and a bit better in highly threaded games.

Not completely, with an i7 (besides the non-k versions) you can overclock to get better performance the a xeon, but not a ton better.

Not very close if you start pushing that i5 in terms of overclocking ;)
