Core i3 6100 with GTX 1050 Ti or FX 8320e with GTX 1050 Ti for Gaming, HTPC, Video Encoding and Multitasking.

Hi,
This is my first own PC build for which I'm going to build it for Gaming , Multimedia (connecting it to my tv for watching movies), Photo and Video editing and Encoding (Handbrake, etc.) and Multitasking.


But Iam a Little bit confused Whether the core I3 6100 or FX 8320E will perform well on video encoding (as FX 8320E has 8 cores.) and as well as in gaming and multitasking?.

Which will be well suited for my needs?. Iam going to pair EVGA GTX 1050ti SC 4GB GPU to any one of these processors that you recommend me.

Gaming - i3 6100
HTPC - i3 6100
Multitasking/Video Encoding - FX 8320e

I'd pick the one that seems more vital, but I'd probably go intel as you could switch to an i5 later and easily beat the 8320e all around

The AMD FX series are 8-cores from 2012, and very weak compared to today's processors. If you are going to do gaming and video and photo encoding, I would get AMD Ryzen. Ryzen 5 should be fine but if you can afford it Ryzen 7 is better. The 1050 Ti would be a bottleneck though, a 1070 or 1080 would be a solid choice (if you can afford it, I'm sure the 1050 would be fine).

Pay a little more and get more power with Ryzen R5. 1400 and 1500X are good for both gaming and encoding (4cores-8threads, faster than 8320e), but most value is at R5 1600 which at $219 comes with 6cores-12threads, and box cooler good enough to OC it to 3.8Ghz.

Will It be somehow okay for video encoding or will be the worst??

It's decent. I agree, I forgot Ryzen 5 is out but it easily beats the 8320e in power draw and in all around performance.

My brother has the 8350, a faster clocked and more power hungry machine, and he makes montages and stuff and it works good enough. Doesn't crash, doesn't come out choppy, couple of odd segments though that may be the editor, it's k. Not the greatest.

Thank you for your reply...
AMD Ryzen 1400 or Intel Core i5 7400. Which will be well suited for my needs (Gaming, HTPC, Video encoding.)

Gaming will be better on the i5, Video on the Ryzen, HTPC really doesn't matter much you just want low power components so fans dont work hard and both don't make much heat.

If you're serious about gaming, down the line you can upgrade to an i7 ; serious video editor, all the way to a Ryzen 7
