4790k Vs 5820k

[Warchylde]

My last PC was a laptop, i7-4700MQ and a 770m GTX with 24gb of DDR3. I recently built a new PC with a i7-5820k and two 970s in SLI.

 

I pretty much had the same idea in mind but I'm already creating a lot of content and the 5820k was an ideal choice. Paired with 16gb of DDR4 @ 2666.

 

I7-5820k overclocked @4gz with no voltage change and water cooled. 

 

I usually record at 80,000KBS in OBS and edit/render with Adobe and have no issue with frame drops during games like BF4 running in ultra with AA on with two 970s in SLI or any issues with the 5820k being able to handle the workload in adobe or OBS. 

 

Thats just my experience of what the 5820k and 970 SLI can be capable of. IMO if you are really going to get into content creation I would opt for the 5820k as said previously for the "workstation" like power.

GPU is totally up to you since I can't really say if the 390 is worse or not since I don't own one to compare.

If you have a Microcenter nearby, a 5820k is only $299 plus tax. It's worth it but I wouldn't pay more than that if you're not gonna use it for work productivity. It's an enthusiast/work chip but if you can get it cheap, why not use it for your hobby as well.
