Bit of a bump in price between both and coming from a 3770k OC rig from 2012 I know either will be miles ahead - so is the extra money worth while or are they quite similar for general Windows, Photoshop plus video work (eg: is the GPU more of a thought here).

Thanks in advance for advice folks :)
