Basically I need help choosing the best core i7 CPU because I'm building a PC with my dad, which I'm going to use it for video editing, audio recording, and some serious gaming (BF4, ARMA III, Crysis 3, and such). What I mean with this is that I've search for the best core i5 CPU and many people said that was the 4670k, so I was wondering what was the best i7.
easy - the best costs the most with intel.
For socket 2011v3:
The 8 core i7-5960x at just over $1k.
The 6 cores= i7-5930k is $580 and the 5820k is $400
For socket 1150 we are back at the 4790k as already mentioned, at $340
