Hello all,
About to make my first build - for music production...no video editing, but maybe occasionally scoring to video.
Im planning on going for i7-8700K as its recommended in the latest buying guides and seems the most powerful option.
However, I know that there is some debate about i5 vs i7 in iMacs for music, relating to how quickly the fans kick in (more quickly on i7 apparently)...and generally whether i7 is necessarily better for audio production.
Similarly, I don't know anything about overclocking, and assume it is mainly of concern to gamers and video editors...maybe Im wrong...but if anyone can tell me whether I should go for a "K" version of the processor for my needs, or better not to and possibly save some money on the extra cooler, I would be very grateful!
Many thanks!
