Intel or AMD ?

With video editing/rendering, it's the number of cores/hyperthreading that makes the difference. That's why the 8-core 8350 is better. The 4790k would work (it has hyperthreading), but it's significantly more expensive.

I've used both my home rig and my work rig for rendering/CAD and hyperthreading/cores makes a huge difference. My home system actually runs SolidWorks better, but my work system (4-core xeon) renders much faster as it's one of the few aspects of Solidworks that can take advantage of multiple cores/threads.

Converting time-lapse videos was also much faster.

Click to expand...

Could go for the Xeon 4C 8T on the Intel mainstream socket for cheaper than the i7 4790K.

Though personally I'd look into what software you're using and see if you can utilize GPU acceleration.
 
for the sake of the £10 I would personally go for the newer chip set. but that's just me.

but yea... either gigabyte or asus
