the i5 4690s is at 170 usd and the fx-8320e is at 110 usd which cpu would be a better build for a budget under 800 usd this build would be for gaming, some light photo editing, and on rare occasions video editing

The i5 wins hands down not sure why you want a power saver but ok :P It's way stronger compared to the 8320

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

the standard versions cost the same and have the same cpu boost, so  the s/e versions while idling or light task it consumes less power and heat.
