dual-socket Ivy Bridge or single-socket X99 board for FCP
Greetings,
I need to build a new system for FCP editing and am trying to decide on a dual-socket Ivy Bridge board or a single-socket Z99 board. I would like to build the fastest possible system for less than $3K. I already have a donor X9DAI board, RAM, case, PS, and SSDs. I just need to order the CPU and video card.
Before I drop the money on a CPU/cooler, I need find out which system would have better compatibility to run FCP:
(a) A dual-socket X9DAI (w/2x 2.6G E2630-v2 CPUs)
or
(b) a single-socket X99 system with the fastest CPU I can get
Thanks for any pointers.
