Planning to build a system which will be used mostly for video editing, color grading and animation.
Trying to decide between a X79 vs X99 vs Skylake system.
As best I can tell, there's not really an appreciable performance difference between X79 and Skylake. (I don't care about it using less power.)
As best I can tell, the performance improvements with a 6 core X99 system would be more significant, but config and maintenance will be more of a pain compared to a more compatible X79 system.
Any opinions? Something about investing into X79 when it is already so old feels like a mistake, but I need this to be a reliable system used for daily work with a minimum of fuss.
