Considering the investment, it depends on your priorities. Spending another $100 on casual intermediate editing tools like Sony Vegas and After Effects might not be essential unless you're heavily focused on those skills. For gaming and recording, OBS is more practical. The performance gap between the two chips in these areas isn't widely documented, so gaming benchmarks likely reflect real-world usage rather than just theory.

What titles are you interested in? And could you tell me about your current setup?

Many data points are missing. Another concern is your time value and the file sizes involved. A less powerful CPU can perform tasks just as quickly, though at a slower pace. It will handle real-time editing but with reduced quality. Without knowing the type of video you plan to work on, it’s difficult to determine if additional cores are justified. The sole reason I can see for gaming is that upcoming consoles will likely use 8-core processors, though previous models with 8 cores were also slow. They’re not yet available, so this remains an estimate until they arrive.

Triple A FPS likely doesn't use VR at 1440p. The current setup runs on FX 6300 with R7 250.

Men are arriving from Phenom II, so it's not too bad.
