Suitable CPU for gaming and video editing

stellarcorp99 · Jan 31, 2017

So I'm building a PC for online gaming (LoL, CS:GO) and editing videos (Premiere Pro, AE and PTS).
With my current budget (200$ more or less), should I get a i5-7500 or i5-6500?

I currently have an i5 7500 paired with a GTX 1050 ti and it plays basically all games including csgo at 60+ fps. Btw I play 2560x1080 ultrawide. If you play 1080p the i5 7500 is the way to go.

I am also building my pc with a gtx 1050 Ti. But as I have said earlier, would it be worthy to go for Kabylake since both i5 aren't much different. If not, I will go for the i5-6500 since it's cheaper.

I say go for kaby lake. It has a faster clock speed and boost to 3.8ghz. It also clocks ram to 2.4 ghz, so for gaming, i say kaby lake. But the budget is yours, and if you go to over budget, the 6500 is still a good CPU

Thanks for your answer, man. I'll consider it.
