I am looking more at this 8320 do I really need 8 cores?! i thought 4 would be enough for even BF4 will more cores help me render videos faster?

Rendering a video always takes a long time and I look at my task manager and my cpu is always maxed when rendering.

Was possibly wanting something in between fx6300 and 8320 or something as powerful as 8320 but a small bit cheaper.

Thank you so much will love you 5 ever

"The more cores the better" is the general rule for rendering but this is software specific; some rendering software is single threaded and only runs on one core.
If you find your software is multi-threaded then go ahead and bite the bullet and order your fx-8300 series.
