I'm in need of a cheap but fast PC for use with Premiere Pro and Visual studio

[jordanzhninja]

Is this a good PC build for those things?  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/XnyKD3

 

I need it to be good at video rendering and editing because I do youtube and also good at visual studio because I'm doing a software enginerring degree in September 2016 and I need practice, plus I already do software projects.

 

I also would like a 1440p monitor with it but I don't know any good ones.

[Silyy097]

You wont be even able to start that up as that CPU has no iGPU Motherboard has onboard graphics.

 

Man I don't know what you are trying to do with that computer, thats really on the budget side. With the CPU you will probably not be able to upgrade it any further, and since you do not have the budget I suggest not getting an ssd? Ugh

 

Now im stuck with whether going with the 8320 + SSD or i3 w/o SSD. Somebody please advise me and him on this..?

What is your overall budget for this build, because if you go with this build you're pretty much stuffed in terms of upgrade path.

Give us a budget and we can work something out which you could then upgrade further on down the road if you need more performance

I don't know, the man is asking for a fast video editing machine for what looks like 300 quid. I've planned budget builds this cheap before but not for what OP is asking to do.

This is going to be a bit better for upgradeability.. You can fit 32GB ram.. up to the biggest i7 / E3 and it will not bottleneck even the fastest GPU with a case with 2 fans, front USB3 and a solid little PSU that will run all but the biggest cards in sli / crossfire (not that the board will di sli, thats an exxtra £40)

A gpu will help in graphical applications too (photoshop and the like)

 

If you add a GPU, the E3 1220v3 is a great chip for your uses..

 

2GB vram will help you too...

 

£363

of course you can drop to an i5 4460 and drop the GPU too.. but the difference would be night and day.

@jordanzhninja, I would suggest that you have a higher budget for this type of computer, because if I post what I have in mind, everyone will hate it. Save some pennies for a while. What I have in mind would eventually allow you to upgrade to a Xeon down the road, but for the time being you'd be stuck with a fast dual-core. If this is your set budget then you have a couple of options, you can go with an AMD 8-core and be stuck with that performance forever until you upgrade to a new platform, or you can go with the dual core and only have to upgrade the CPU to have a really kickass rendering machine.

I didn't make this someone did it for me after I told them what I needed.

 

currently my render PC is a surface pro 3 which is really bad for it and I don't have much of a budget my highest possible is £500, but to do that I would have to sacrifice getting an xbox one when halo 5 comes out

Oh, okay. We can work with 500. Really if you're doing this for school, a rendering machine is far more important than an Xbone.

Okay, this gives us much more breathing room...

I have the keyboard mouse and a tv which I can use as a monitor for the time being

The acer smidpx 25" is a good 1440p monitor

Here you go. There's no SSD, but you can always add that later. Graphics aren't too strong but that's okay, all you need is an output. the Xeon has it where it counts.

out of these two suggested which will be more appropriate?

More Appropriate would be the second option, however neither are a good option. I would save up some more...looking at UK prices i would say waith until you have at least 700-750 pounds.

yeah, that was my point there. those options we gave OP are... not terrible, but they're certainly not very good. at the very least they would allow him upgrade easily later if he so desired.

[jordanzhninja]

If I waited until i had 750 I wouldn't be able to buy it until next year

It's up to you. If you wanted to forego the case and just use a cardboard box you could save yourself the cost of your case. Short of that or borrowing your little sister's legos, there's nothing else we can suggest. If you want a video editing rig for $500, what we have suggested is just about the highest you can get.

[brob]

Trade some performance in video editing for Visual Studio performance. Save up and add a decent gpu down the road. Motherboard has two free memory slots for a future memory upgrade.
