Hello. I am interested in building a gaming rig which will be able to run Skyrim on Ultra settings at 1920x1080 and be able to handle graphical mods such as ENB Boost, Climates of Tamriel, etc.. plus many others but also be able to run and record very smoothly big custom battles such as 20 dragons flying around, etc.. like you see on some of those YouTube video recorders who use Fraps program.
I was told to go for an i5-4670k but was wondering if the hyper threading capabilities from the i7 4770k would be worth the $$$ as this is what I would be using the build primarily for? If I get an i5-4670k, I could get a better graphics card such as a 4gb GTX 770 instead of a GTX 760 with the i7. Should I stay away from any Xeon Processors or are they comparable to the i5 and i7?
What do you all think? Do you know if hypertheading would benefit since I am going to be using multiple graphic mods and fraps program? maybe running other programs outside of skyrim at the same time besides fraps or should I just go for the i5?
Thank you very much for your recommendations.
Thank you CTurbo for answering my last question and recommending the i5 to me. Now this is on my mind, lol.
