Hey guys.
I'm upgrading next month and therefore I'm doing some research and preparation before I buy the actual parts. I'm considering an i7 (most likely the new 4790k) because I game as well as video edit. I use Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere and Sony Vegas 12; I also do a fair bit of encoding with Handbrake and I know hyperthreading will help these tasks.
What I want to know is will it help these specific tasks enough to warrant the increase in price, it's not a matter of can I afford it because I can, it's really about SHOULD I really get this or is it even worth it. I was thinking if I don't get this, I'll probably get a 4670k. I have a 3470 right now and I want an unlocked CPU.
P.S I was thinking to get a 7950 with this because they're quite cheap nowadays and upgrade my 12gb to 16gb Thoughts?
Thank you.
