Hello, currently my computer is this http://pcpartpicker.com/list/37XFXH I want to edit videos for youtube. However my CPU is really weak for the job and I wasn't thinking about editing videos when I was picking the parts; so I'm stuck with this http://pcpartpicker.com/list/37XFXH. Is it a good idea to upgrade my CPU to an I7-4790 or go ahead and build this instead. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XD3gPs

To be honest I'm leaning towards building a new pc since I know it's much better than my current pc. Although if it's a better to upgrade my cpu then I'll go with that instead; I'm thinking of getting the I7-4790.

What do you guys think? Should I just upgrade my CPU since it's cheaper?

 
Solution
I sounds like you're looking for good reason to spend a bunch of money on a new rig. If you have the money to blow, go for it. If not, just buy the i7-4790. It will help for the video editing.

After a little bit of research. I figured it's a better idea to get a new PC instead. Thanks for the help.
