Hi!
I'm about to upgrade my current editing rig (Premiere & After Effects CS5 - will eventually upgrade to CS6) and am having difficulty choosing between two CPU options and two motherboard options. I was hoping someone out there could help out.
For the CPU, I'm trying to pick between the 3930k and the 3820. I know one is hex core and the other is quad core, but does that translate to a major difference in performance, or just a minor one? (Basically, is the 3930k worth the extra $250)
On the motherboard side, I'm picking between the ASUS P9X79 Deluxe and the WS. I don't intend to ever use either 3-way or 4-way SLI. I'm leaning towards the Deluxe because of the integrated wi-fi, e-SATA and additional SATA/USB2 & 3 ports over the WS. Is there something important that the WS does over the Deluxe that is relevant to video editing? Perhaps with regards to setting up a RAID?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David.
