Hi please take the time to examine one of my builds and let me know if this is adequate for 35% gaming 65% 4k video editing. I did see that the new 7700k was a better performer than the 6800k so that's why I chose that CPU. If there's anything I can change to accommodate my needs please feel free to leave a comment down below! Thanks! Deciding on two builds, here's my first

MERGED QUESTION
Question from ChristopherKing : "I. Need. Help. Asap."

Hi! Please help me. I'm going to build a mini-itx gaming/ mostly editing PC specs are : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pXPJGf

The case is my only issue . It's an Inwin 901 (beautiful glass case) the only problem I have is I don't know shizzle about it! I measured everything and it seems to check out fine but I'm honestly just indecisive . Please recommend a case (any!) Money is not an issue, reviews and quality are! Tell me what you think of my build. It is my first one! Yes I know mini-itx builds are a pain however, I just have a thing for tedious work! That's why I file papers for a living (accountant) . Thank you!!! Comment ASAP

How about a mini setup that isn't such of a pain? Non-overclocking...

My whole this is performance, I've gotten feed back from friends saying it's a pain to build mini-itx's but I'm willing and able. I love your suggestions by the way. You wouldn't recommend water-cooling my CPU for overclocking?

 

[Isokolon]

if it's primarly for video editing, I'd probably go with a Ryzen chip instead of Intel.
the more threads the merrier.

ITX can be painful, depending on the case
but can be a nice challenge.

 

[nikoli707]

if you are purchasing right now i would go with a ryzen 1700 or 1700x over the 7700k if video editing is going to be the main focus. for gaming only and high refresh the 7700k is much better and cannot be beat at its price point. but the ryzen chip is simply better at almost everything else dealing with productivity.

Thanks for the responses guys. I just need a 4k editing machine that can handle csgo from time to time. Its a hard decision trying to build a mini -itx but I'm very minimalistic. So please continue suggesting!!

 

[ChristopherKing]

Do people really prefer the ryzen over Intel??? I mean I seen the benchmarks between the two and the 7700k is ranked 2nd fastest processor. (The 6950X succeeding it) for productivity and light gaming what is the REAL recommendation?? Thank you all once again for your time.

 

[Isokolon]

the 7700k is "the fastest" CPU as it has the highest clock speeds and the most IPC (to my knowledge)
which for gaming is just what you need.

however if we're talking about CSGO, we're talking about a game that's several years old and runs perfectly on an LGA1155 i3.

for video editing the single core speed and IPC don't matter so much as the load can be distributed among several threads. so the more threads and physical cores there are, the better. that's why a 6800k beats a 7700k for video editing although being clocked almost 1 GHz slower.
until Ryzen the 6800k was the best CPU for this task as it provided 6 cores and 12 threads with clock speeds fast enough for gaming and a price that's bearable (compared to the 6850k or the 6950X)

but now Ryzen is here. the 1700X provides the same clocks as the 6800k, but 2 additional cores and 4 additional threads while being cheaper
compared to the 7700k you get DOUBLE the core count and DOUBLE the threads

of course a Ryzen 1700/1700X won't get you as many FPS as an i7-7700k on for example Crysis or GTA V as those games only use 4 threads and are more or less perfect for an i7-7700k or i5-7600k
which doesn't mean that you can't play them. the Ryzens are still pretty potent in this games, the 7700k is just a bit better

but if your focus is on video editing rather than gaming, I'd much rather go with a Ryzen chip.
Coming from someone who loves his i7-6700k very dearly.

but I'm not sure there are ITX boards out already
so if you're looking to buy today you might be bound to Intel

 

[Isokolon]

found some benches for you for Premiere Pro CC 2017

the Ryzen 1700X beats the i7-7700k by 3.5% overall in rendering preciews

here by almost 10% for VR previews

exporting to 4k H.264, the 1700X again beats the 7700k by 4%
for VR it's again almost 10%

2 more synthetic benchmarks:

@isokolon : thank you for the feedback and interesting information. I'll look into the chips and Mobo and update you guys with a parts list. Thanks ISO!
