And today i was talking to a buddy who said that i should get a 4770k instead, will it really make that much of a difference though? In terms of speed, the faster the better, but if the 4770k is really close in most things then i will think about that. I use blender, rhino, nearly everything in adobe cs6 (mostly photoshop, premiere and after effects) and a lot of 3d. I will also most likely be hosting some variety of servers, like minecraft, tekkit, and other such games, and be able to work as these servers are up, which i know can take up a lot of cpu usage and ram usage. Would it really be worth investing the extra money into this cpu? I will be using it a lot more for editing than gaming, and its uptime will be close to 18-24 hours a day. I do like the idea of 64GB of Ram, though if i choose the 4930, i would need to find good ram and a motherboard, that could sustain minor overclocking, But if i choose the 4770k there is only 4 ram slots and i am not going to buy sticks of 16 The other thing is that i will be ending putting another 290x into crossfire, and most likely will be running 3 1080p monitors (which i have yet to find) or 2 Asus PB278Q's. Which cpu would be better at handling 4k? (i plan to edit and record in 4k later on) i know i will have plenty of juice with Vram. do not worry about price, if it stays under 3000 that would be wonderful.
So sorry for the long explanation but thats what questions i have, thanks!
