Cpu vs Gpu

[Aayush009]

Hey guys need help I'm stuck between the cpu and GPU choices. 

Should I go for i7-8700k with GTX1060

Or

i5-8600k with GTX1070

Requirements for gaming and video editing

Rest of the specs:

MSI Z370-A Motherboard 

16Gb Corsair vengeance 2400MHz Ddr4 ram 

Corsair 650w 80+ rated psu

Acer - 23.6" Full HD Gaming Monitor

Samsung 850 evo 256gb ssd 

WD Black 4TB HDD

 

Also please do suggest a AIO cooler for the processor.

What are you trying to do on this computer?

[H4ckbraten]

for gaming definetly the 1070 because games are getting more gpu demanding than cpu demanding. Just if u like to stream or do some other high cpu load you should pick the 8700k

What's the refresh rate of your monitor?

[SpaceGhostC2C]

if you're looking for a gaming PC, GPU 1st CPU 2nd. So, out of your stated options, i5+1070.

Can you suggest any cooler Aio preferably.

Follow the console rule. 3x more on gpu than cpu.

 

e.g. If you getting current gen $200 cpu, you can go right on ahead and get a 1080ti which is the limit for noticeable bottlnecking.

 

$100 current gen cpu qualifies you for a gtx 1060-1070(not sure because price is so mess up right now)

Not true. For rendering/exporting, yes. For everything else, no. That's comparing the I5 to the 1800X.

Sorry to come with the news, but video editing does in fact involve more than just rendering/exporting.

if Premiere, any modern GPU will do. 1060's a good start

 

if not premiere, please specify your NLE

(also any other production program you may be using)

 

if you worry about being able to play certain games then spec to the game

 

depending on your typical project size you might want to get more RAM (especially if you're doing 20 mins light or 8 mins heavy project)

yes i do use premiere but i also sometimes use hitfilm & da vinci resolve.

thanks for the info

But, I already bought a 1070 and 8700k (overclocked to 5GHz) by cutting costs out of other components and Everything is going pretty well.
