What cpu would be best for....

what cpu would be best for creating video game montages for pc games in HD
--recording gameplay in high details
----MW2, crysis 2, bf2, League of legends all at max settings
either the intel core i7 2600k or the bulldozer 8150

 

[arunmohan]

core i7, bulldozer cpu's are not handled properly even by windows 7. So you won't get the full benefit of cpu.

i would say the i7 2600k

 

[pro-gamer]

2600k is still on the top of the gamming cpu so intel would be better at all...

 

[night_wolf]

or you could wait for the 2700k

 

[keith808]

when is the 2700k coming out.. and about how much would it be?

 

[night_wolf]

i saw a page and it said its going to be $120 more than the 2600k is now, and its expected to be released 4th Q 2011 or 1st Q 2012,

I might be wrong, So far i heard is the core speed will be 3.5 Ghz, Unless the 2700k has got something magnificent to increase performance besides the ghz, I wouldn't say its worth it, Just slam a corsair h100 on and overclock the 2600k to 3.5 and there it is! You save $120 (the same performance) Maby the 2700k could be overclocked more than the 2600k, will have to wait for the release date to find out.

 

[keith808]

what about the amd 8170? hopefully that will be the competitor of the 2600k?
