Spec a video editing PC

[Stevie GooGs]

Hi guys i need to upgrade my machine, its now 4 years old and Premier Pro is killing it. If you had 4k to spend what would you build and who would you buy it from. A lot of money but I need something for editing 4k / 5.2k video without having to make proxies all the time. Needs to be a full tower with up to 7 sata drives for storage.

This is not for gaming, wish i had the time for that its for video / photo.

Don't skimp on graphics card, Premiere 2020 finally makes good use of it when rendering.

Watch some Linus tech tips videos, they are always banging on about video workstations.

Was the last full build I think, it's 4 months old, so speccing in the 3070 or 3060 would be obvious.

Maybe look at server/workstation motherboards? Haven't done video editing for a while but is 64GB gonna be enough for >4K?

If you can wait the 30 series graphics cards are a huge leaper over the 20 series. So big in fact trying to get one is a fucking nightmare

Worth considering ambient temperature. All the cooling in the world is no use if the room heats up. Scotland though so probably not a problem

Bottom/Front in & Top/Rear out airflow is always good. Ideally a slight positive pressure unless the case is perfectly sealed in which case go for neutral pressure.

According to the specs the DIMM.2 expansion slot runs slightly faster than the under-board slots. There's a lot going on with that motherboard

Thanks guys so if i change to faster RAM what cooling would you recommend? If specific models that would be fantastic.

I appreciate the help.

I wouldnt bother with the 3080 unless you really need that much grunt.
The bang for buck sweetspot is the 3070.

Athlon 1700, 512mb ddr and an FX5200, that'll sort you right out.

Expect to hear about the AMD cards shortly. They might pull something out! I've seen some fairly positive news on it!

[Stevie GooGs]

Is it covid catching up now with delays in production? Cant get a gfx card and can't get a front tyre for my bike, both on back order.
