I'd like to upgrade to a new CPU. I've been thinking definitely i7, and potentially the 4790k or 6700k. I can get both for around £290.
It will be mainly for editing purposes.
My questions are;
-Is there a better alternative for similar or less money? (Around £300)
-Will I need to upgrade anything else in my build to accommodate the increased CPU performance?
Thanks for any answers
