What is the best intel CPU for content creators?

[Moeplazz]

Budget around £500

-cheap with good overclock for gaming and streaming a 5820k or a 6800k.

- pure content creation, streaming, rendering, gaming a ryzen cpu with 8 core 16 thread, powerful as a 6900k while being half the price.

I would go with an i7 6800k like what @nerdslayer1 said before.

depends on what he does, if he is going for content creation purely i would go for ryzen.

Keep in mind PCIe lanes for expansion and RAM (dual vs. quad channel)

well ryzen blows anything intel has out the water at your price point. Is the a actual reason as to why you need Intel.

At that price you would get better performance from a Ryzen 8-core.  You'll save money on the motherboard as well.

[TechGod]

Ryzen 1700 would be the best

I'd buy ryzen but the only thing that let me down is the am4 socket. So I might as well use i7. I want nzxt kraken x61 but on am4 sockets it's not compatible

What's wrong with the AM4 socket? You can get a free AM4 bracket from NZXT for your kraken as well.
