i5 For video rendering and gaming, what i5 should i get?

GoldenGamerUK · Feb 23, 2015

i want to get a i5 for my computer, which means switching platforms, but never the less, im going for an i5, and im going to do video rendering on the pc. that is pretty much it

get a 4690 or 4690K if you want to overclock it

yeah, i might actually go for that, would a Asus Z97-P motherboard (pcpartpicker link - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97p ) do for that cpu, i know its compatible. i want to know if its any good?!?

Depending on how much you want to spend an i7 with a H97 board will be better for rendering than an i5 4690k even OC'd and by the time you factor in a better cooler with the i5 might not be that much more as you would be using a cheaper mobo and non overclocking CPU which can run happily on the stock cooler.

the Z97-P is a good starter board but lacks some of the good features for overclocking. If your wanting to stay with Asus then look into these board for good overclocking features, z97 boards; -A, -AR, -WS, Pro, Deluxe, hero, ranger, or formula.

Another downfall to the z97-p is that it does not support sli or crossfire, but that's only if your wanting more then 1 GPU.

the i7 is a tad out my price range for the minuite, im using my pc for youtubing, so i just want to use it to start off

i only plan to use on GPU, i will just get better ones when they come out, so what board would you recommend for overclocking if i was to get a noctua Air cooler?

This Xeon is basically an i7 slightly lower clocked and the price of the 4690K. If you want to render more effectively then I recommend it.

unless there is no compatibility issues at all, then ill take it, but i do plan to play games on this machine, as well as recording them, then ill consider taking the Xeon over the i5

GoldenGamerUK :

Shouldn't be any issue there. You don't even need Z97.

H97 w/ 4690 if you don't plan on overclocking.
Z97 w/ 4690K if you plan on overclocking.
