Hello , i have a question


im currently a Twitch Streamer / Video Editor and some motion graphic


i got puzzled over those 2 building and i don't know what more suitable for me ,



Or


is it the i9 build is kinda overkill for me ?
or the i7 build is enough ?

thanks in advance
 
You will be fine with either build though if you're looking to produce/create content for your channel where they're not entirely live streams but clips of the live and perhaps other video projects then the i9 build would be a worthwhile investment. That is, if your system is meant to be a workstation...to help pay for a roof over your head and food on the table, then the i9.

What sort of panels are you looking to work with?
 
When faced with a better vs. cheaper option, I find that I have fewer regrets with the better option.
Yes, the price stings for a little while, but the second guessing for the cheaper option lasts for much longer.

On the two units you listed, I have some thoughts
A KF option saves you a trivial amount but can save you if you ever have a gpu issue.
The newly announced 14th gen processors are better performers at the similar price.
Look for that option.
The i7 option seems to be offering three sticks of ram. That is usually not good.
