I am building PC for video recording, editing and rendering. I am running youtube channel and in process I am recording a lot of footage using vlc player(video footage comes from twitch streams). I am editing videos in PowerDirector(before you say something - this is the fastest rendering software out there and speed is everything if you need to create around 40 videos per day) . Right now I am creating content in 1080p since no esport event is streamed in 4k, but that can change in future. 

 

I will use it mainly for work, but I figure it will be ok for games as well. 

 

I am looking to put together these parts http://pcpartpicker.com/list/V9tnd6

Right now I am using 
CPU i7 3770
MB: something that supports my old CPU
RAM: 16GB
GPU : Radeon 7800 series with 2Gb memory
PSU: Old Corsair 650/700W one

My biggest struggle is with the CPU, is the 6900K that much better than 6700K? How big would be the difference in rendering times? 
How much VGA impacts the rendering times? Will better VGA give me faster rendering times?

 

At the moment one 10 minute video clip is rendering 6-7 minutes. Would it be possible to get those numbers down to 3-4 minutes?

I want to put together system that I will be able to use 3-5 years.

Salzar studio's on youtube recently had a 6900k and 6700k (can't link cause I'm at school)

The time is pretty minimal if you ask me 

 

Either get a thick 140mm or don't waste your money on a AiO, NH-D15, or 240mm+ rad's should be better

Just get one evo or Mx300 for SSD's

About the cpu, meet it in the middle get the 6800k.

Spend the money you safe with that on a 1080.

 

Also what's do you mean with VGA? (Don't know the term)

I'm guessing that he says VGA instead of GPU.

Your GPU/VGA will only impact performance if you render with your GPU instead of your CPU. This depends on the program. Let me look it up.

 

*edit* Yes, if you eneable hardware acceleration your GPU will impact performance. *edit*

Watched the video and few things stuck in my mind. 

  1. video editing software does not support hi enc CPU`s(they don't use all the available power) 
  2. 6900K is the king when it comes to multitasking. 

During peak hours I am recording 5 separate streams of video plus editing and rendering recorded videos and uploading videos to YouTube.

This is an interesting thought, but I am not sure that in long run that would be the best option. Software developers will support more cores than they do now and then most powerful CPU will have the edge.

Some programs are optimised for more cores, like the adobe suite.

Because of the pricey CPU, I thought you were willing spend a lot.

 

It doesn't really matter, 6700k, 6900k, just get something that works for your budget ;).

I am willing to spend a lot on this, but before I do I want to be sure I am not overspending. I am putting hi end pc together for the first time, so I have 0 experience in building these.
