At the moment I’m running with an i7 3770 and after much discussion on these forums I have decided to go for an i5 8600k and overclock it then spend the £110 more on the i7 8700k. My question is will I see a big performance boost from the 8600k over the 3770? I also do light video editing and the 3770 can render a 15 min video in about 35 mins, is the i5 going to be as fast as that?

Well in that case, all sounds good, I'd go for the i5-8600k.
Happy Building!

Well to answer your question on whether the i5-8600k will have a big performance boost over the i7-3770, the answer is yes. There is about a 45% increase in performance between those to processors (before overclocking). Also, if you are rendering videos an improved graphics card would provide a much bigger performance boost than a cpu would.

EDIT: In this answer I assumed you would be upgrading the prerequisite hardware/software for the upgrade as well. However, if you are not please refer to ARICH5's answer below.

this isnt a cpu upgrade you can do. you need a new motherboard. and OS. you cant jump from ivy-bridge to kabylake with a cpu switch.

Those bloody miners, the graphics card prices should be falling with the new generation of cards coming out in march/april.
Also, if all your questions are answered could you please mark the answer of the question as the solution.
Thanks.
