Hey guys, so I'm trying to build my first PC and will be purchasing it in August at a $500 budget. For the past 2 weeks, I have been trying to make gaming PC builds, but then I looked at the grand scheme of things and I realized that I don't even game that much. The only 2 games I really need are NBA 2K and Dota2. What I really want to do is make Youtube videos, specifically sports mix tapes, vlog videos and some Photoshop work. I personally don't care about rendering time if there's only a 2-3 minute difference between the 2 CPUs since it is JUST 2-3 MINUTES. So for my needs, which CPU would be better? The i5-4690k or an i7 4790? With the i7 build, I still have a 1TB hard drive, 8GB of RAM and a really good case/PSU. With the i5 4690k, I can have all of those, and then I can add a CPU cooler, a boot drive SSD, and some case fans or a really god motherboard. Thank You in advance for any responses.

editing, you won't see a difference unless you're doing some INSANE graphics and effects. Even then that depends more on your graphics card anyways.

Rendering vids, you will see a definite speed increase if you had an i7 because of the i7's hyperthreading.

Honestly, because you don't care about rendering anyways the i5 will do you fine, isn't really too necessary to get an i7 as the i5 can do all of that and game very well too.

I have looked into that option, but the thing is, it has no integrated graphics, so I'm going to need to but a GPU. I can't afford a GPU right now if I want a i5 4690k/i7 4790
