Hi folks - I need to buy a desktop PC dedicated (mainly) to video editing.
I intend to use Premiere Pro. Also After Effects, Photoshop and Audition. The video will be 1080p 50fps max, and the the edit won't be effects-laden: occasional animated graphics, titles, transitions and some colour grading.
PC Specialist has a lot of happy customers so I'd like to buy here. But I'm not a computer tech so getting confused about the spec I need. Clicking on the 'Video Editing PCs' under the 'Professional Desktop PCs', on the homepage gives me a range of options, from £410 to £1170. Great! But going down another route - configuring a video editing workstation for Adobe CC - throws up three options, the cheapest being £3490. Not great!
So can someone please assure me that the budget options will also work with Adobe CC, please?
Reading the spec on Adobe's site, I realize that I need to increase RAM to 16GB. What about the graphics card? Do I definitely need an NVIDIA card, as these have 'CUDA' which, apparently, is a good thing?
Any guidance (in words of one syllable, or fewer) would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
