Hey there guys,

I'm currently preparing a parts list for my 1st computer build. The goal of the build is it build a computer that will be fast in Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and games like GTA V, Far Cry 4.

So what do you think? i7 or i5? And why?
Thanks.
 
Solution
Yes the e3-1231v3 will perform very similarly to the i7 4770 in all tasks.

RAM really doesn't make much difference. Those are some serious extremes though. 1333mhz cas11 is TERRIBLE haha
