Hi, I am planning to do a build for a friend that is going to university for film classes. He is willing to spend around 2000$ to 3000$ for the computer, and I came up with two different cpu configurations he could use. The first is to take a x79 motherboard and a 3930k, and overclock the cpu to 4ghz+. The second is to take a dual socket motherboard (based on the c60x chipset) and put two e5 xeons in it (probably this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117269).
I am wondering if it is worth it to spend the extra money to go with two xeons , because it seems like the i7 3930k will offer similar performance for less money.
Random extra information: He is using adobe cs 5.5 premiere pro and after effects. He only cares about the rendering speed.
