I have decided to upgrade my home-built PC so that it better handles video editing.
I've read lots of reviews and believe that the i5-750 is my best option.
However, in some of those reviews someone has made a remark that for video editing then you should really opt for the I7-920.
Well that option is an expensive step-up and I wonder if it is overkill for my needs.
I am quite sure that the comment should be "if you are seriously into editing, like every day, studio production then go for I7. But if you are just a home movie maker the i5 is ample."
Am I right? I just do really basic stuff. I don't mind if the rendering process is not so fast - that always provides a good opportunity to make a cuppa. It is more important that when I am importing raw files, and rolling film that the video displays without glitches.
Cheers
