Hey Tech-Forums, I'm new hear and just did some advice on a new computer build. I have about $1000 to spend and this will be my first computer that I will build. The Computer would mainly be used for video/photo editing and a bit of gaming.
I'm looking at getting:

Questions
I did a bit of research and found that i7 9XX uses 4.8 GT/s QPI and i7 8XX uses 2.5 GT/s DMI. Whats does all this mean?
Is it worth getting an i7 over a dual core? Like do i need the extra core for my uses?
The Radeon 5770 and the Radeon 5870 have such a massive price difference. What makes the features of the 5870 so expensive?
