Is this good for photo and video editing? More so focusing on photos as I haven’t really gotten into video yet.

The i5 version is a pretty good deal. Thinking of buying it, then taking that 1660 Ti for myself, and give the recipient my 1050 Ti (minus the GPU cost). They are still on a 1st gen i5.
Hmmmm

In essence you're probably not going to do enough to notice the difference (6/6 and 8/8 with a 3k passmark difference). So save the money imo

But you get the best performance boost from RGB LEDs. You can squeeze 10-15% more IPC out of your CPU if the light from the LED hit's it just right.

If it's the 7600K it would be quite a bit of improvement. The 7600K is 4/4 @3.8ghz, 4.2ghz turbo, while the 9400F is 6/6 @2.9ghz, 4.1ghz turbo. The GPU will be a serious drop, as the 1080ti was only...

i5 version has 6 cores, i7 has 8. Neither has Hyper Threading. Going from 6 to 8, for gaming, usually does not translate to big performance gains....
