[mahammaddabayh]

I Wanted to build a PC for Video editing and gaming but more of editing, I primarily use adobe products and I've read it is more optimized for intel, I would like to have your thoughts on the build and to know as well will the ram speed matter for intel?

CPU: i7 8700
Memory: Nighthawk 3200 RGB 16gb
HD: 2 T.B Seagate 7200
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 250 GB
VGA : GTX 1060 6GB
Power supply 750w whisper gold
Cooler: Hyper 212 turbo

I just have a couple of questions if you may answer them

Will be there a significant difference between 8700 and 8700k in case of stock speed and in oc

Does higher ram speed matter? if it does by how much?

I would consider check the prices of new ryzen, 2xxx series.

The RAM speed matters, but not in a significant way

8700 - 3.2 to 4.6 stock
https://ark.intel.com/products/126686/Intel-Core-i7-8700-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_60-GHz
8700K - 3.7 to 4.7 stock
https://ark.intel.com/products/126684/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_70-GHz

As you can see at stock they are virtually identical. Only the K series can be overclocked, and this requires a Z series motherboard.

For Intel RAM speed nets very little gain in most applications. It's the last place you go to to squeeze extra performance because of how terrible the price to performance gain is. For AMD Ryzen however increased RAM speed has huge impact on performance, recommended for Ryzen is 3000 GHz after that the price to performance gain drops off a lot and isn't worth it unless you just want max performance regardless of cost.
