It really depends on your budget. For around $350, you can get a 6700k, which is pretty powerful for gaming and rendering. If you had more money, you could step up to X99 and get a 5820k or even a 5960x (the best, 8 cores but $1000), which would give you more performance since you're doing video work. Don't spend all your money on a CPU though - especially if you're editing, make sure you have enough RAM and preferably a high quality monitor for accurate color.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Thanks. What's the best?

 

5960X

 

8 cores, 16 threads, decent clock, and it's a great all-rounder for editing and gaming.

Thank you.

 

No problem. Just don't forget: single core performance matters.

Of those listed, the 5820K is the best, also comes in at a very attractive price for a six core :)
