Hey Guys.

Im quite new to handbrake and i want to build the best rig i can (under $2000) to encode video, but im having trouble with a cpu.I have been told by some that handbrake doesnt benifit from multiple cores and its higher clock speed i should go for, but others say the opposite. Is there any among you who have any experience whith what im after?

$2000 USD?

At that budget you can get a nice I7 that has many threads and a good single core performance.

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

You could get an i7 5820k build with that kind of budget mate.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

I'd personally go for a Noctua NH-D15 or a Phanteks TC14PE over a liquid AIO.

I like that liquid cooler, but it can be used as a place holder, it is generally the most expensive cooler people will use for this, so the total wont go up.
