A plea for improvements

Hello everyone,

I've never done this before but I'm looking for some advice on this build. It's designed to be good for editing video (frag movies, montages ect.) but I'm not to sure what to look for. Any suggestions are welcome but my budget is no more than £900 (I know that means it won't be a beast).

Hi there. I think you'd be better off going for something like this, which is just £25 over budget.

The intel CPU will perform better than the one you picked, as that is an APU, which is designed to negate the need for a dedicated graphics card as it is essentially a CPU and GPU combo (sub-par in both respects when compared to dedicated CPU/GPU). Since you requested a gfx card, it seems pointless to pick an APU.

A 1060 will out perform a 1050ti.

Hope this helps.

Agreed.

What software are you using for video editing and what else will you be doing with the PC? Any gaming? Anything else?

It's possible an AMD Ryzen build would be better value.
