Advice needed for building a pc for adobe premier

 

[madmatt30]

Country & budget??
Do you intend to game on this also?
What are your uses in premier like like ?? Are you an advanced user? Working with full HD video?
Or just a hobbyist?

South Africa. No more than $350 for the cpu. I'm a film student so I will be editing in 4k in due course.

$350? Then you can get your self an Intel 4790k. Based on benchmarks, Intel has better single-core performance compared to AMD. AMD compensates for that by adding more cores. Since the i7 series has hyper threading it's basicly 4 physical cores and 4 virtual cores,that said match that up to an AMD 9590 , Intel will dominate. Of course you have to consider AMD's cons such as more power usage and more heat produced. $350 i guess is a perfect fit for you since editing is your main priority. The i7 series are more of a business type processor to get work done. An i5 is an i7 but without the hyper threading. If you don't plan on overclocking go for the i7 4790 or a 4770 or if you do plan on overclocking a 4770K, on Intel anything ending with a K or X is overclockable, in terms of unlocked memory multipliers

4790K without a doubt! It's your best option.
