I'm looking to buy a new processor (and a motherboard as well, but my choices will depend on the cpu). For the $41 difference, which processor should I pick up? I'm not really concerned with the gaming performance, I'm more concerned about the video editing performance.

i5-4590 for $124
i5-6500 for $165

Thanks in advance!
