CPU for Gaming, Editing and Streaming

[Resision]

Hi Guys,
I'm planning out my PC build that will primarily be used for Gaming, Streaming and Editing. The editing won't be intensive but I do it frequently. Currently I'm looking at the i5 4670k and the FX 8350.

Any advice on which to get will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

Yes the 290 is considerably faster. However, i would not recommend the 290 with reference cooler. They get so hot they are reportedly clocking down. There has been fixes out for their fan tuning s but still are hot cards.

Apparently they released a new driver to speed up the fan (I'm assuming this is the fix you referred to). With that is it still an issue or would it be fine with good air flow.

I can't say for sure. The blower type reference cooler used was noisy to begin within, so i 'm guessing it is even louder now. Blowers disperse a lot heat out of the back of case as opposed to non-reference designs which disperse within case. If loud ain't a problem then your call. Personally i would only recommend non-reference.

Again I'm a noob, so how do I identify if it is reference or not.

Thanks, the non reference it about $78 more but if I was getting the 290 it would be worth it.
