Im a newb with this

Which would be better for gaming and video editing ?

 

Intel Core i5‑4690K 3.5 GHz Quad‑Core 

 

or

 

AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz 8-Core

 

[manikyath]

well... the 4690k would require a $110-ish mobo and a $50-80 tower cooler to be in its element.

 

the FX9590 would need a $150-ish mobo and a $100-150 watercooler to not catch fire.

 

it is hard to recommend a product when to use it safely you need to double the cost of every part around it.

i5, 9590 is just a hot, slow mess.

The i5 4690k by a long shot. The FX 9590 looks fast on paper, all it is is a lot power hungry, really hot running FX 8320 which isn't that great and will require a very good PSU and an expensive motherboard.

[manikyath]

should probably also add the FX9000 series' performance benefit over the i5 would be disappointing at best.

Core i5, When games cannot use all cores effectively you'd want the FASTEST PER-CORE processor.

Intel wins by a mile in this regard, and games react well to Intels superior IPC.

Rendering, even modern Intel CPU's with LeSS cores, are beating FX as well in encoding times.

 

Plus, it's an upgradable platform.

The 9590 is not good enough (it can DO the jobs, and run anything the Intel CPU can, but not as well while sustaining top tier performance you expect), and it's their BEST CPU you can buy from AMD.

 

You can do more with an Intel core than an AMD core @ similar frequencies, not that you should ever compare them clock for clock, it does not work that way.

But gaming and encoding results... can speak for themselves.

How much video editing? Like some really hardcore, production quality stuff? Or just some minor stuff like what you would do for a basic youtube channel?

Okay I ask this because I recently bought a build and the 9590 will not work or something happened I have no f*cking clue. So we decided lets just change the cpu. I did not know about the heat issue and it literally burned my finger now that you guys are telling me I now understand. (Theres a  lot of backstory)
However the mobo we have is  M5A99FX PRO R2.0, 

so I just checked and the i5 wouldnt be compatible or something. 

What do I do, I have money to spend on a good cpu, just tell me which, anyone please help. This is been a huge problem for me. 

Here is the exact build currently for those wondering -

So let me get this straight, you want to buy just a CPU that will drop in your current motherboard? Also, what exactly are you doing? By video editing do you mean professional production quality or new youtube channel quality? What type of games do you mostly play? How much money in TOTAL are you planning on spending? Do you already have parts like HDDs and RAM that you want to just transfer to whatever new build you make?

question is, why is the fx9590 not working?

if it's overheating, your best purchase would be a 240mm watercooler.

Well, I have the build already, the only thing Ill be replacing is the Cpu, everything is in the link i provided. 
Basic editing nothing too big you know? Price under $300

No something happened it fried or something because now each time I try to turn on everything crashes, I had a seperate post about it and no one was able to help, so we decided to just change the cpu and Rma the mobo.

Get another fx9590 and then also get this cooler. I have personally used this cooler on an i7-4770k that runs stable at 4.9 ghz when on a single core (I got super lucky lol). Infact, I'm using it right now.
