is the i7 4790K enough for 1080p gaming and 1080p youtube video editing, as well as schoolwork, especially coding assignments. Or should I go with a 4930K for £140 more? I am pairing it with an R9 290 and an Asus Z97-WS for future upgrades and expansion and overclocking.
.
Is this setup enough for my needs or will the 4930K justify its significantly higher price tag as well as going with an older, less feature-rich and less futureproof LGA2011 motherboard for the same price as the Asus motherboard.

All responses appreciated.
Thanks.

You could push 1440p possibly 1600p playable with the 4790k and a r9 290 no need to go higher. i use an i5 4690k and a r9 270x and smack pretty much any game at 1080p so you're good!
