Posted August 20, 2015 The sixth core will help with the streaming and editing. If your budget can support the CPU, x99 mobo and DDR4 ram, go for it. i5-4690k@4.5GHz || MSI GTX 970 || MSI z97 Gaming 5 || NZXT Kraken x61 || WD Black 1TB || Crucial MX100 || 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro || Corsair RM750 || NZXT H440 || Corsair k70 RGB mx browns || Acer H236HL || ViewSonic VX2255wm-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 20, 2015 I wouldn't recommend the extra raw power unless you know for sure you're going to be needing workstation levels of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever someone says they do a "little bit of video editing" it means they game 90% of the time and do very light video editing 10% of the time. Are you a serious content creator who does video editing and rendering work as a living? Also if you choose a 5820k it will perform noticeably worse in games due to it's lower clock-speed and single threaded performance Save your money and spend it somewhere else.

Posted August 20, 2015 Author Well I'll be getting into it heavier and heavier. I'll be buying 2 gtx 970's or R9 390's with this build as well. So I want to make sure it can handle the load.

Posted August 20, 2015 At micro center, 5820ks are usually around the same price as 4790ks so price isn't an issue as long as you can afford the extra for X99 and DDR4. I had to pick between the 2 and while the 4790k has a better per-core performance out of the box so it's better for gaming, a slightly overclocked 5820k will do wonders in any game, even tackling ARMA at pretty high settings. Set the 5820k to 4GHz and you're golden, basically. Any decent CPU cooler will handle it fine.

No. But eventually I'd like to move into it. I have a friend getting me into UE4 as well. Many different areas of interest. Who know.. could turn into something more. As of right now though it'll be pure hobby trying to turn it into a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 20, 2015 Also if you choose a 5820k it will perform noticeably worse in games due to it's lower clock-speed and single threaded performance Stock, yes. Overclocked, no. Good chips can get up to 4.7Ghz "If you are lucky". I can only get mine to 4.6 at 1.45 around there. I quite like this video that Paul did that explains most of it ^-^ (5820K, and the 5930K are basically the same CPU's just a heads up if anyone is confused) That is only if you overclock Build log : Leviathan PC My contributions to F@H! 1.

Ive heard most 5820k do only about 4-4.2ghz on air without a high risk of fast degration due to voltage and temps.

Ive heard most 5820k do only about 4-4.2ghz on air without a high risk of fast degration due to voltage and temps. Yeah 1.45 is a lot. The max is around 1.4 IF and ONLY IF you are underwater. 4.6 at 1.45 was the max I could get my chip to go 24/7 stable, but the degrees kept on hitting the 80 mark. My 24/7 clock is 4.4 at 1.325. and in air it probably gets too hot to get it to the 4790K range. Those added cores tend to kick out heat like mad. Build log : Leviathan PC My contributions to F@H! 1.

I think I'm going to go with the 4790k and use the extra money towards better cooling and gpu. Seems like the most logical way to go for right now. Now to decide on a R9 390 or gtx 970..

Now to decide on a R9 390 or gtx 970.. It's funny because I am on the same boat as you, either the i7-6700k or 5820k. Mainly gaming and light streaming/editing. A lot of people like to recommend the 5820k, but I decided to go with the former because if it is just a hobby, I would just start there. If your hobby starts catching momentum, then by that time you can start considering moving up to whatever 6-core processor Intel has. That is just my opinion by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 20, 2015 That's the same conclusion I came to. Just makes too much sense. What gpu did you end up going with? I went with the 980 at the time, and planning to SLI. The 300 series wasn't released yet, and the 980 Ti debut and also the price drop. I am planning to SLI because I am getting a 1440p 144 hz monitor.

I definitely need a new gpu with this build because my 7950 doesn't really give me what I want consistently. Figure I'll just rebuild everything and start in on something I've been wanting to do for a while now. Just having a hard time deciding on the last component which is the gpu(s).

If I were you, I would go with the R9 390. Similar price, similar performance, but the 8gb VRAM definitely looks interesting. Then again you can't go wrong with either in 1080p gaming.

I bought a 1080p 144hz monitor together with a gtx970 g1. But this was 3month before 390 was released. And i think if it wouldnt i would still get the 970, because i like this efficient card. In addition everything bought was planned to be able to add a 2nd card if needed. (or gets cheap) So i only have an EVGA Supernova G2 750w PSU. Which wouldnt be enough for 2x 390 xfire.
