Hey everyone. My brother has asked me to put together a PC for him to do his video editing and music production for him. He does not do any 3D rendering, or really much VFX stuff, and he isn't working with anything more than 4k. For music production, he could have anywhere from 20-30 plugins and as many as 50 channels for a project. Now the music side of things I know and can build around that, but I don't know much about video production (he uses Adobe Premier, by the way). For Premier, what have you found to be the best options for GPU/CPU combos? I have seen a lot that Premier really likes Nvidia and their CUDA cores and doesn't play well with AMD. So I'm at that point now. I've attached a potential build list for what I have come up with, but wondering if anyone could give any more insight into best options for the best price. (Looking to stay under $2500). My biggest question really is if it will be more beneficial to have dual smaller GPUs (1660 SUPERS, giving a total of 12GB VRAM) or a single beefier GPU (2070ti or 2080, probably)?
If the files don't load properly, here is the build:
MOBO: MSI B450-A PRO w/ DDR4-2666, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, CrossFire
CPU: Ryzen™ 7 3800X Processor, 3.9GHz w/ 40MB Cache
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB DDR4 2666MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit (4x 16GB), Black
Storage: 860 EVO 2.5" SATA III 2.5in SSD, 250GB + BarraCuda 3.5in SATA III HDD w/ 256MB Cache, 2TB
PSU: Toughpower Grand RGB Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold, 850W
GPU: ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Advanced Edition 6GB PCI-E w/ Dual HDMI, Dual DP X2
TOTAL: $1994.91 pre-tax.
OR have two sets of Viper RGB 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit (2x 8GB), Black for 32GB of RAM to save a little money.
