It's partly due to the fact that the i7-4930K has only 6 cores and 12 threads, but is also of the relatively inefficient Ivy Bridge E generation. A new mainstream 6-core/6-thread i5-9600K(F) is only slightly less powerful (slower) than that nearly six-year-old i7-4930K but would not have broken the bank. Heck, even an i5-9400F (if you don't plan to use Intel's QuickSync hardware H.264/H.265 encoding and you're planning to use a discrete GPU anyway) is almost as powerful as the i5-9600K, given its current ridiculously low price. (Of course, you will need a new motherboard and new RAM for those new CPUs.)

Now, the older i7 is almost always a 4-core, 8-thread CPU. Which generation is that CPU? First (Bloomfield/Lynnfield)? Second (Sandy Bridge)? Third (Ivy Bridge)?

I would like to start looking into updating my main editing rig. What hardware would you suggest if I got a new mainboard, CPU, and memory? I'd like to keep my cost of those three around $1,500, but I could possibly go up to $2,000 if there's a large jump in performance. I'd love to get your opinion as well, Ann.

Thanks Bob. I'm open to suggestions from anyone on the forums. I have an RTX 2060 6GB (and a GTX 1080 8GB that's in for repairs right now). I'm also good on storage and a case. I have a 750W Corsair CX Series PSU which should be able to handle pretty much anything.

Which CX series PSU? The original CX 750 really cannot reliably deliver anywhere close to 750W - but is actually only a 550W PSU in terms of its real output. That alone makes it a waste of money in the first place.

It's the Corsair CX Series 750 Watt (2017) 80 Plus Bronze Certified Non-Modular Power Supply (CP-9020123-NA).

That edition should be a decent one, being made by Great Wall for Corsair. Earlier ones were made by CWT.

Sorry, that's the one in my secondary editor. The one in my main editor is a Corsair RM 750W CP-9020055-NA​, which is several years older.

That older RM series is not that good: Its fan almost never spins up (as originally manufactured), which leads to early shutdowns due to internal overheating. Later models of the RM line are better.

Okay. So I'll either swap the two between my secondary editor and main, or just get a newer PSU. Do you think 750W is sufficient or should I go up to 800-1000? Do you have any suggestions for a mainboard, CPU, and memory between $1,500-$2,000 for good video editing performance?
