It won't help that much. 

 

Id probably just get a i5. Most video exporting need clock speed and cores. Also the motherboards are expensive.

Sure they may cost only $40, but x79 motherboards will be $200-$250, and the low clockspeed will not help gaming at all, you would be better off on the 6300. If anything go for a e5 2670 which runs at  2.6Ghz, but if you primarily game an i5 6400/6500 is better.

i guess also the i7 2600 would be off the table if i can get a cheap lga 1155 for like 30 bucks ?
