Thank you very much @RobSas, I hadn't noticed that post! I really appreciate these pointers, they're really helpful!
Thanks again for all your help and expertise, very glad I consulted you all first, it's given me a lot more confidence in my order!
Thanks again @Scott , that makes sense! Appreciate your help again!
I've put my final configuration (hopefully!) below on the off chance this might help anyone else who is looking for something similar.
Do you think I would need any extra case fans or is my current cooling system sufficient...
Hey guys, I was wondering if the RTX 2060 would be a suitable alternative for the GTX 1660 Super? Do you think the RTX 2060 would work for video editing or is it better built for something else like gaming? Is it just more powerful than GTX 1660 Super?
Thanks @Martinr36. For budget reasons i can't stretch to 1TB for the M.2. If i lowered the SSD to 512GB but increased the M.2 to 512GB would that just as well? I could then split the media over the SSD and M.2. Or will that do more harm than good?
That's good to hear and thanks for the input. This does meet and surpass Adobe's specifications for 4k video editing so fingers crossed!
Re optimizing the 4k projects, i have heard some of these ways but is definitely something i need to look into more.
Re the drive, that makes sense...
Thanks again for the advice @Scott , it's really appreciated. If I had a bit more time where I could wait for the 5800X/5900X I definitely would but as I ideally need this as soon as possible, I think I will head towards the 3900X. This processor still would work for my purposes wouldn't it...
Unfortunately, I can't hang around for when the 5800X comes into stock. Taking on board your suggestions would the configuration below using the Ryzen 9 3900X be suitable? I have stretched my budget to £1,600 here but this is really as far as I can go.
What was the reason for choosing a...
Thank you for your configuration @Scott. Would be great to see some other opinions of how to go with this to weigh it all up.
I noticed you used Ryzen 7 5800X which is on pre order currently. The guys on the live chat couldn't give me an exact date when this would be in. If I'm looking to get...
No particular reason to be honest, but reading that article, it looks like it is a bad idea. What equivalent AMD processor would you recommend? AMD Ryzen 7 3800X?
Hi everyone,
I am looking to build a 4k video editing PC with the specs below. Do you have any suggestions for alterations/improvements? I'm looking for something that should last for a good length of time. I have very little knowledge on PCs so any tips/advice would be appreciated.
