I'm planning to build a rig that is able to render 1080p well(I make news videos on top of other video projects,so speed is of importance)
What I need it to do is render Adobe After Effects or Sony Vegas videos reasonably fast and to be able to simultaneously browse/download files. I'm not doing any sort of heavy editing, it's more basic After Effects animations and Sony Vegas simple edits.
Option 1:Buy used
i7 2700k
1155 mobo for it
8GB of DDR3 1333MHz
9600GT GPU - got this old dog in my current ancient rig
This will cost me about 270$. Buying from a local computer repair shop, family friends own it, in other words I don't expect to be screwed over.
Option 2:Buy new
i5 6600K
Z170
8 GB DDR4 3000MHz
-will use integrated graphics for now(I think the 9600 would just be a waste in this setup, no?), plan to upgrade to GTX 950 and add another 8 GB of ram in the future.
Will cost me 500$
I recently got into video editing and I honestly have no idea if the first option will cover my needs, as far as I've heard CPU power matters most when it comes to rendering basic 1080p videos. If the second option will actually be overkill for what I need, saving the money until my projects turn a nice profit and then investing into a monster rig would be nice.
one last thing - I've found a local offer, namely: a 6600 that would end up 70-80$ cheaper(compared to store 6600) and is allegedly new and unboxed, would you guys take that?
(posting here, because everything revolves around my CPU choice)
I thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.
