So first and foremost, i understand that x99 is entirely overkill for gaming. An i5 7600k would be where i would stop if i wanted to game. But aside from fairly heavy gaming (GTA V, Witcher, Ark occasionally) i also do editing on my computer, fairly heavy music recording and editing, and a video here and there. Might pick up on video soon, who knows. In my music editing i usually have pretty complex project files with plenty of plugins, and I'm looking to the future for recording live drums which means recording several tracks at a time.
My main question is, is going for even the cheapest x99 worth the extra cost for editing, and would i notice much difference on the gaming scope? Could i negate the differences by overclocking x99?
Just for reference, i currently use an old FX6300 on a decent 990fx board. Not ideal to say the least, I'm sure either would be a huge upgrade from what I'm used to but that's not really the point.
My understanding is that under these circumstances, i would definitely benefit from the x99, but i want to know if its really THAT much better to be worth the cost
