I need some advice on what to do for my first computer build. The most instense stuff I do is video and photo editing, premiere, after effects, photoshop.  I also like playing Star Wars Battlefront!

I want to get a 4k camera within the next year or two. So i will want to be able to edit in that, but for now it will mostly be 1080p. This computer will also be my everyday machine. YouTube, facebook, movies, music, work, school etc...

 

I have been debating an AMD 8 core FX, or an I7- 4790k. What do you guys recommend?

 

I love USB 3.0 so lots of those on the motherboard and or case. And if it had USB 3.1  on it, that would be cool to add some slight futureproofing to it for a while. You can get USB 3.1 as a PCI card though right? 

 

A couple pcpartpicker lists would help out a ton!!

My budget is around $1000-$1200.

Dude!! Thanks for responding so quickly!

And WOW! that looks like a great build! I probably am going to go with that, or something very very similar. Thank you so much!

The 5820K is 3.3GHz, compared to the 4790K which is 4GHz. Will the two extra cores make up for the lower speed?

The 5820K will be much faster in workstation applications due to those two extra cores, and will rival the 4790K in gaming performance once overclocked.

 

The build is generally good, only gripe I have is the PSU. An EVGA B2 750, although semi-modular, is more higher quality and more reliable in general. I'd go for that instead.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Both cpu's are overclockable.  The 5820k build I believe would do you better for your editing needs.. But to make up part of the price difference I sacrificed a better cooler.  But 4.0ghz with a hyper212 should be easy.
