If your software can make use of the extra cpu cores, then X99 will be faster at rendering/encoding.

You'll also have more room for future upgrades to more cores on the X99 platform.

10 cores/20 threads coming with Broadwell-E

Cheers for the info Luke. Its for the occassional editing when i upload to YouTube but its mostly for web browsing and gaming. I realise 32GB might be overkill for the tasks i want it to do but i rather have that extra head room for later.
