if you notice my coments in the article i linked i spent a little time figuring this out the fx 8-core will be a little better at pure editing but a i5 win to double as gaming and editing with the ability to upgrade to a i7 for more serious editing

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html quality of power supply is important a i5 will do best to double as a gaming and editing system http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/video-editing-hardware-guide,3922.html

you could just the hdd and the 970 then call it done... thats my opinion

i decided to compare synthetics i5-4950 and fx-8350 score close in floating-point math and prime numbers but the i5 falls short with a overclock fx-8350 destroys i5-4950 in integer math, sse, compression, encryption, physics, and sorting i think the fx-8350 may get the job done a little...

both amd and nvidia got some new gpu's on the way

get the 970 and dont look back! what gpu do you have now?

software responds to more cores.. ok the i5 can be comparable with the high ipc to a fx 8-core but what the i5 lacks in comparison is in prime numbers and floating-point math.. no?

i would leave out a ssd if one in the 250gb rang cant be afforded

haha what do you want to know? no one can give you more than that guide can and it seems like you know about the optimization problems. if other games play fine its nothing hardware related.

looks like you want to sli but 1 970 will do the job for any game at 1080p 1440p is a nice res for 2 high end gpu's they dont come cheap but check out the gsync monitors.. they will certainly give you the best gaming experience
