1090t Black Edition vs. 2500k

[chimpbagel]

Hello everyone,
I have the option to buy a second hand 2500k and a second hand 1090t, both are at the same price.
The only difference is I'll get an ASRock motherboard with the 1090t, and if I'll choose the 2500k I have to buy a new one.
Will there be a major difference in games like Arma 3, Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3?
Thanks, and if anyone know a $230 gaming GPU please let me know to.

1090T is a great solution, it should push a high end graphics card well...getting the MoBo with it is a great pickup...ASRock makes good product mostly.

For $230 I would go with either a Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition or, if you can find a Radeon HD 7950 for that money scoop it up...though it would be doubtful, you may find one in that price range

I will be video editing and rendering to..
I make renders that take like 5 - 10 minutes on my Macbook Air Mid 2012 (i5).
Video editing won't be that heavy. (Sony Vegas Pro 12, AE CS6)

AMD 6 core CPUs from the Phenom II series are good for rendering/video editing.
