Hello, sorry I've made a thread about this already, I'm packed with so many questions, and no one can answer them for me, so I have to make a new thread every time I have a question if I can't find my answer on google.

Anyway, my question is Will the 4790k overclocked to 4.7 - 4.8 GHz paired with the Radeon R9 380X do a good job, if I'm doing mostly 1080p, rare occasion 4k, and possibly sometimes 720p videos, ranging from 1 minute to 30 minutes in length, as well as 1080p (most of the time) or 4k (maybe) rendering.

I really don't care how long it takes to process the video, or picture if I'm rendering. As long as it doesn't run for days (I don't want my computer wasting that much power), and as long as my processor can handle the time it needs.

I am going to stress this: I will not upgrade to the 5820k. If you didn't hear me, I will not upgrade to the 5820k. The 5820k will fit in my budget — but the X99 motherboard, and expensive DDR4 RAM will not, adding on to the fact that the 5820k costs 90 bucks more. Speaking of RAM, I'll be using 16 Gigs to start, and an upgrade to 32 gigs later in the future. And while we're on this topic, my power supply is gold efficiency, so I'd prefer 24 hours at most for rendering/editing times.

Thanks
 
Yes. I have that chip at stock right now. If I do a handbrake transcode of an hour long 1080p bluray rip it takes about an hour forty to complete the job at relatively high settings.

You won't get much better without going 5820k or some server based rig.
 


Perfect, thank you



When you say I won't get much better than that, you mean how long it'll take right? I just want to make sure the 4790k won't cause issues in my system if I throw a massive load at it. But honestly this is just a hobby, when my video is processing, I have no where to be
 


correct. The 5820k will just speed things up. The 4790k will definitely not choke on it, not even if you were using it on a professional basis.
 


Perfect, no need to spend the extra 100 bucks then, plus the extra 30 I'd have to spend on a motherboard
