I've read probably 20 threads about this topic, sorry to ask this question again. Here is my dilemma. I have two haswell computers. One with an i3 the other with a i5. I'm going to get a gtx 1080 and I want to move my current card into the i3 pc but I think it would be a waste with that processor. (card is a r9 290).
In the computer getting the gtx 1080 I'm trying to decide if its worth getting a i7 or not. This pc is mainly used for gaming but my wife uses it to record videos of her playing the sims. She edits them using a program called corel video studio x9. She records the videos using an el gato hd 60 capture device. She plans to make videos of her playing the new planet coaster game when it comes out in september.
What I want to know is it better for me to just get a second i5 or would it be worth while to get an i7 for the computer we record on? The price of an i5 4590 is $159 the i7 4790 is $250. (microcenter) What I want to know is would I really see any benefit from the roughly $100 for what she does? I know for general gameplay it wont matter but what about these other uses?
