I am trying to find a new CPU that is good for Gaming and Video Editing!

 

I currently have a system consisting of an AMD A10-5700 APU and a ASUS OC GTX 750Ti 

My Budget is around $200 or below, Looking for the best performance for Gaming and Video Editing.

 

THE $200 BUDGET IS JUST FOR THE CPU, DONT WORRY ABOUT THE MB :)

 

I have been recommended CPUs such as the Intel i5 4690K and the AMD FX8320E, and I would like to see what a dedicated forum would think.

 

All and ANY recommendations are appreciated!

-Thanks :)

That's a hard one as you want to do gaming and video editing. Pick which one you prefer to have better performance with. The AMD one might have an edge on video editing but not enough to cover the edge the i5 would have on gaming. So the i5 4690k is you're best bet if you can get it from microcenter (the only store that has it for $200.)

Would definitely choose the 4690k. Not really a competition. The 8320 can be had for ~$110 on sale.
