Hey guys... This is my first post, so sorry if I put this in the wrong place or something.
I am looking to build a new PC mainly for recording purposes(I use an audio interface that I connect to the PC via firewire) and was wondering if the i7-2600K was significantly better than the i5-2500K for this build. I've read that the difference is pretty minimal for gaming, but what about recording and running midi software? I use alot of programs for effects and I also use a lot of midi sounds. I do play video games, but the games I play are either really old or free and don't require much power (ex. LoL), so my primary concern in picking out a processor is recording.
If there is a significant difference, do you think its worth the ~$100 increse in price?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
