i7 2600/2600K for Video Editing

[MultiMigo]

Hey guys, i've posted quite a bit but now, i'll try to put it into one thread.

 

I'm an i7 3610QM processor user (laptop) I mainly do video editing and then some gaming. Upon asking people here and searching the web, my i7 3610QM is about the same with an i5 3330 desktop processor (performance wise) 

 

In the i7 3610QM laptop, I can edit 4K videos smoothly at 1/2 preview resolution with the help of a GT640M and an ssd. 

 

Now, i've plan on building a PC which will (I hope) give me a performance boost in editing. I've chosen the i7 2600/2600K as a processor for the build. Would I see a big increase in video editing? Both those processors go for $100 or less in my country. I will also overclock if I am able to get the 2600K. Is that a smart move? I also have no plans on getting Haswell and newer chips since I really have a STRICT budget. Also, how does the 2600/2600K perform vs the 3770/3770K? The 3770/3770K go for around $110-$120. 

 

Thank you so much guys!

if your looking at OLD hardware take a look at the Xeon X5650 on 1366... i upgraded my old i7 for one and never looked back. They overclock like a beast unlike most Xeon chips and the extra 2 cores will be essential in video editing

Frankly I'd just save up for a Ryzen+ 5 refresh here in a month or two... I personally don't think getting an outdated processor specially after all the security meltdown deal is any wise... I do not know where are you from so I don't know how's your market on hardware but taking Brazil as base with is pretty worse case scenario already, the costs shouldn't be too apart at all and you'd get much better perofmrance on the latest technology which offers more reliability and safety.

well yes if money is no object but for the price for a Ryxzen 5 and mobo you could get dual X5650 with 64bg of ram and there is NO WAY ryzen 5 is going to edit video better than a dual Xeon setup.

 

Ryzen 7 -  8 / 16 cores @ 4Ghz or

dual Xeon - 12/24 cores @ 4Ghz???

Not all software plays well with Dualsocketed systems.

Results WILL vary.

General Consensus - You are correct...in an ideal world.
