Hello, I would like to set up a system for video encoding (upscaling) and editing. I am running off a X220 i5 right now as I sold my desktops and only have notebooks with integrated graphics.
I am looking for a setup for encoding / rendering with CUDA or OpenCL. I mainly use Sony Vegas, but right now I am stuck in CPU mode. I used to hove a 8350 with 7850, but I rather move to Intel and CUDA.
Can you recommend what I should go for? I don't want to spend a lot of money. Also, if I do get a better GPU, is there a reason to get the i7? Below are my sample builds. Please comment on them and recommend something. I will be running off a SSD and at least 1866MHz RAM.
GTX 760 + 4770K i7
GTX 770 + 4670K i5
GTX 760 + 4670K i5 (cheaper)
HD 7970 + FX 8350 (budget)
My main question is, if I do get one of those GPU's, is there really a need for an i7? Everybody says i7 is better for editing, rendering, encoding... but since I will be using the CUDA (or OpenCL) option in Vegas, will it matter that I get the i5?
One more thing, the solution must allow me to play in 1080p on a 24" monitor and record with FRAPS at full resolution without lag.
I am open to other suggestions as well.
Edit: I am also willing to go for gen3 i5/i7 if a powerful GPU is more important. Trying to be on a budget.
