So a good friend has decided (he thinks) that the CPU for him is the above one. His use is primarily video editing (premiere Pro); he also does some gaming. His need is not necessarily rendering (waiting for it to finish is ok), but he cares that live edits are smooth (he works mostly in 1080p, but occasionally does 4k). I believe that the Intel CPUs do a better job on this specific funtion than AMD per Puget Systems and others test reports.
Anyway, his current GPU is a EVGA GTX 1070. I am no expert, but I informed him that the 9900k is way more powerful than the 1070, and he may need to upgrade that out as well. I think that what Premiere Pro functions (live stuff) he want to improve are GPU-bound.....
Am I wrong? What GPU would be a good fit? I suggested that perhaps an i7-8700K may be a better CPU....am I wrong?
Thanks. : )
