I game on my pc and would like to record and edit video for youtube. I would like to cut down render times and spend under $500 on the upgrades. Should I keep my 8320 or get a 8370? Should I watercool my cpu? Would I be better off upgrading my CPU or GPU?
Current build:
gtx 650 ti 1 gb
fx-8320
gigabyte 970a - D3P
16gb Corsair Vengeance
cx 600W

You are just fine with that CPU, I would get a GTX 970 with your money and then get a new PSU. As the CX series suuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I recommend switching out that PSU to either Thermaltake or Corsair's AX line.

Hi there.

And the most I can suggest is maybe get an AMD Radeon for that. As the RADEON's tend to have a bit more performance in the editing side than the GTX series NVIDIA cards.

Otherwise, might want an aftermarket cooler. But a CoolerMaster 212 EVO would do just fine for the cooling.

So really there isn't anything too big to upgrade.
An SSHD would make life easier by dumping the RAW files onto that and having faster read/write rates would make editing a lot more fun.

Hope this helps

Why does the cx series suck? i have only heard good things about them. Also would i need to upgrade my power supply if i get a 970?

I have hear alot of people complain about the capacitors in those PSU's not lasting, as in they die in a year(MAJORITY do). They don't have the best internal components that is why I stay away from them and recommend other PSU's to people. Other than that you are fine.

As for your editing it depends on the applications you are "editing" for. If you are 3D editing then Nvidia's CUDA helps alot with that, while AMD based applications run better with a AMD card, My sisters Mac has an Intergrated GTX 760 inside(I think) and she video edit's just fine and smooth, so Nvidia seems better.(sorry i'm being biased) What I mean to say is that just watching her Edit her videos just seems so smooth, she also edit's video's for my church as well. Perfect quality and sound. So that is why I'm recommending Nividia Cards for you.
