greetings

im in the middle of building my new audio/video editing and gaming PC and i was wondering which CPU is better.

i can buy haswell and skylake but which is better overall for my needs.

thanks and cheers.

Go skylake if you're building new. It is a bit better and about the same price now. Kaby lake only useful if 1) not overclocking at all 2) looking for oc record

If your going to be using it primarily for editing, I'd look at the Haswell-E X99 platform. Depending on your software it may prefer the extra cores over the higher speed.

yeah, im building new. my old amd died a year ago and i was buying the parts one by one. overall both have the same price in my country, the only thing i regret is that i bought 2 ddr3 ram. i think im giving those to my dad as a present since he is building too but he is not an enthusiast.


thanks for the answer.

i will use Adobe Premiere CC with the coloring software. also i will use Da Vinci and Reaper.
