Hi Guys,

 

Gamer, Streamer, Video editor and Web design/developer.

 

Is Haswell-E for me, if so which CPU 5820k or 5930k, Will only ever have a max of 2 GPU's as i prefer single gpus and ideally replace with new tech when 2 isn't good enough.

For Video editing and Streaming the 5820k is your best price to performance ratio.

It can be if you do a lot of video editing/rendering, and helps a lot with streaming

Thank you guys, So the 5820k is best bang for buck then reall? because in the UK the 5930k is £150 more!! 5820k £300 and 5930k £455

As in the following video suggested you should use a Skylake CPU if you only want to play games or if for some reason single core performance is important to you.

But if you want to edit videos for example you should probably jump on a 5820k, because of the additional 2 cores. This will safe you quite a bit of time.

 

The 5930k isn't worth it at all I think. It has only small advantages compared to the 5820k, for a much higher price.

I say the 5820k is perfect.

Yes the 5820k is the way to go in this senario
