Posted October 14, 2015 I was wondering if any of you guys could help me decide on which CPU setup/config (single or multi) and CPUs I should get for a Gaming/Editing Rig in the near future as soon as I am able to get the budget for it.4K is already becoming an unofficial standard, more prominently for video/movie content (games are getting there if I'm not mistaken). Since I have already decided on the GPU part, that may mean that I may not need a CPU with integrated graphics and go for a workplace-like CPU like the Intel Xeon series. I need the CPU setup (along with the rest of the rig) to be 4K/60p ready. I would also want to have a dual-monitor setup along with it as well (since dual-monitor setups have been proven to be extremely useful for video editors like myself (maybe I could make it a triple-monitor setup for gaming as well instead of a dual-monitor setup).Since I mentioned that I want my future rig to be a Gaming and Editing rig, that means that I only want to look for the CPUs that are capable (even future CPUs like them) of Gaming and a smooth-as-possible workflow for Video Editing.With that being said, please help me decide. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 14, 2015 Author ask us then, prices always change, new tech comes out ect ect, tech advances every day I'll be keeping both of the threads that I already made open because of the changes that do happen pretty frequently. For now I was only curious to see your thoughts at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
