Building a fairly cpu intensive rig, first time build suggestions

[Dtot79]

Ok, I posted a couple days ago and didn't get any answers so I guess I'll try again. First off plan on using this pc for light gaming, I prefer frames over resolution, and will be using a 1080 monitor to start off with an upgrade in the near future, I will also be using this pc for editing 1080 video and rendering 30+ minute videos, and lastly I like to fiddle with some heavy 3d modeling and game design aspects. My current pc struggles to hold up to this task even at the most basic levels with an i5 and 6gigs of ram (several year old laptop). I would like to use 32 gigs of ram just for this use and for future proofing. I must have (non negotiable) 5 usb, 3 of which must be 3.0. I dont know if this will get me there but thats why im here. I plan on trying some light over clocking on the cpu just to learn how to do it. Also noise is not a concern as i game with headphones at all times and listen to music when doing other work on my computer. I'M making the move from console to pc gaming with this rig and am pretty excited to get going with it... that said here is my initial idea with my 1500 dollar budget

If I overlooked some things try to go easy on me as this is my grand entrance to the custom pc scene. ANY recommendations or tips are much appreciated. Also I still need a mouse and keyboard, open on mice but I want a very precise mechanical keyboard with heavy keystroke... also are sound cards still a thing or do we not worry about that anymore (I know I'm a noob) but when I was djing we always had multiple sound card setups in our computers.

for 100$ extra you could build a rig that'd be far better suited for video editing:

also a few remarks to your build:

- the Corsair RM is a mediocre PSU at best at a high price. RMx/RMi are very good units, the RM...not so much. but it's heavily overpriced. I swapped in a higher quality PSU that will easily power this build.
- the 6700k is nice, but the 5820k will be better for editing having more cores. for gaming the 6700k usually does a bit better, but since editing appears to be your focus, the 5820k will be better
- liquid coolers for $75 are usually junk. a decent aircooler will cool better and be cheaper

Excuse my lack of knowledge as I am fairly new to the art pc building but why the change in cpu... are the 2 more cores worth the loss of .7 ghz...

 

[Isokolon]

for video editing: yes, since the more cores & threads = the faster when encoding, editing, etc.
for gaming: no, since single core performance is the most important factor here
so it depends on where your focus is.

 

[Dtot79]

I would say pretty even between gaming and editing, maybe a little more time editing. Does the gpu performance have any influence of rendering performance or editing or does that job fall solely to the cpu? Also why use such a high end mobo?

depends on the task. but mostly entirely on the CPU to my knowledge.
as for gaming, click that link they benchmark the 6700k vs. the 5820 (vs. the seriously overprice 5960X). the difference in gaming isn't so much but, while the 5820k is said to be around 20% faster (depending on the application) in video editing tasks. imo a worthwile sacrifice.

as for the mainboard: the 5820k is part of Intel's enthusiast series, that uses the X99 chipset. these boards are just a bit pricier as they offer significantly more PCIe lanes than their Skylake counterparts (Z170/H170), support more RAM and better expandability.

Makes sense... looks like I have more reading to do. THANK YOU for your help, it was much appreciated
