Budget (including currency): Under 3000$ CAD ideally but flexible. Country: Canada. Qc Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (COD/Warzone, Cyberpunk, Homeworld 3, Stalker2) and video editing Other Details: I am currently using an older EVGA x99 classified board with a Core i7 5930k with an 1080ti, and a 1000watt EVGa G2 psu. Ripjaw 4 F4-2400 (4x 8gb). Got access to a 2070 Super OC2 Greetings forums; Long time reader here! I am turning to you folks today for guidance and recommendations. Been so long since my last build. I am looking to gradually upgrade my current rig to a whole new rig in the coming weeks/months. I will replace Mobo, CPU, RAM and GPU and case. Don't think the PSU will need to be replaced since it's a 1000w gold plus already. My good old X99 has been serving me well over the years, but I am afraid I am hitting the limits of its capacity, correct me if I am wrong. It's currently running a 5930k so I got 40 pci-e lanes. And I am using a 1080ti for graphics. With 32gb of ram I am only gaming in 1080p since my current 3 monitor setup doesn't include any 4k displays and are only 60hz I would like to change my main monitor to a 4k down the line but at the moment the main focus is the rig it self. But if it is achievable within the budget I would upgrade right away. Cable management in my current case NZXT H440 is not very easy, so I would love to replace it with something with ample space and room for a CPU AIO. And since I am no longer running good old spinning drives I won't need a full size tower anymore. That this is tall AF. What do you guys think? Upgrade GPU first or Mobo CPU/Ram or everything at once? Is my CPU plenty for now? What would be the best bang for my canadian rubles...

My father's job involves restoring old media to digital formats. This requires some editing as the hardware he uses re-records the original format with all its errors including poor color grading, out-of-sync frame pacing, track skipping, and upscaling to 4k. He spends most of his work time in Wondershare Uniconverter and he's been lamenting how after the cropping and color grading that takes only a few minutes, the 4k upscaling takes more than an hour for each video. Moreover, working on more than 3 projects simultaneously will dramatically slow down the entire process. But as there are sometimes over 100 individual videos and multiple days' worth of footage to record and edit, would a simple GPU upgrade be worth the investment? Right now he's using an rx6600 and a Ryzen 5600g. I'm not sure if it's a CPU limitation or a GPU limitation, but I have a hunch that it's the 8GB Vram that limits him on how many videos he can load at the same time.

Hi guys. Im one of the bommers that still uses Vegas pro for occasional video editing. Usually my PC can handle the preview of gameplays, but now my CPU usage is on 100%, the only difference is that the source video now is an iphone cam recording in MOV format and bitrate is 3x more. I think this is the issue. I have an i7 7700 CPU and an RTX 2070 GPU, 16GB 2400Mhz RAM. (Obviously the CPU is the bottleneck, and this shows in the task manager too.) I actually have 2 question. 1, can i magicly flip a switch, adjust some settings (other than lowering the preview quality, which i did), that would lower the CPU usage, or is there a settings that would give the heavy work for the GPU instead? 2, if there is no solution for that, can i somehow convert my source files in different format, with lover bitrate, without losing too much, noticible quality? That shit would go on tiktok and YT short, so it doesn't have to be excelent quality, but stikk. Thanks for any advice

Ok so I have a 8300sff hp. It has an i5 3470 and 4GB of ram. I am gonna add at least 4GB of ram for sure I want to add the graphics card that can run 3 monitors and is good for light video editing and photo editing. My question goes. What graphics should I get that is not more than 150$ (it can be used) and can give me this kind of performance. Key features are triple monitors and that is sufficient for video and photo editing. Also I think it should run from the power of PCI cause the power supply is only 240W. Thank you all for answers.

Need to setup a custom build for High End PC mostly having doubt to get NVIDIA or AMD Card and also any suggestion on Most Color Accurate 4k Monitor ?

Budget (including currency): 1200CHF Country: Switzerland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Premiere and Resolve I guess Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So my brother recently approached me about this topic. He told me he wants a pc for 4k videoediting. The budget is 1200CHF but I think that is unrealistic. Thus far I would get a Ryzen 7, 16gb RAM, NVMe boot drive and a big SATA SSD for the Videofiles like 1 or 2 TB. But the GPU, well that is a different story. I'm thinking he just needs to harvest some kidneys to pay for them, 1000CHF for an RX 6700XT doesn't fit the budget. So I'm wondering if someone might be able to help. I also think the budget is expandable to maybe 1.5k CHF. Now I just have to teach my brother how to edit videos. Thanks for your replies and ideas.

I went from a basic understanding of how Premiere worked, with no editing skills; ....to now making commercial "explainer type" videos for a tech startup company; with no editing course or other teaching methods. Take for example the aesthetic setup used in Techquickie sets. The 1 or 2 relevant elements on a table with a plant in the background over a monochrome backdrop for example. Or.... the fact that hand gestures can really convey a story in a talking head video. Simply watching those videos just gave me so many boxes I could check to make the video look professional; both from a camera setup & editing Guess my YouTube addiction has its upsides Anyone else in video production who had an advantage because of a certain YouTube habit?

Budget (including currency): Roughly 4K USD. I'm trying to not go over $2.8K before the graphics card, since it's around $1.1K itself. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and games like Siege, Insurgency Sandstorm, and Battlefield (4/1/V/2042). Other details: The main reason for deciding on these parts was to create a computer I could upgrade later on, but would be pretty "future-proof"(?) for the next 3-4 years while I'm in college. Currently, my parts list was created by looking at a ton of builds between here and pcpartpicker, and currently looks like this: (** means I already bought it) CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Lian Li GALAHAD AIO 240 RGB 69.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus PRIME X570-PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory** Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive** Storage: Western Digital Blue 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Video Card: Asus GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB ROG STRIX WHITE OC Video Card Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini Snow Edition ATX Mid Tower Case** Power Supply: Cooler Master V SFX Gold 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 32/64-bit Case Fan: 2 Lian Li UNI SL120 58.54 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack** Monitor: Don't Know yet, but looking for a 144hz 2560 x 1440. Current total is around 2.7K USD without tax. The main thing I want to focus on is storage. In my current PC, I'm storing ~3.5TB of files, with a third of it being video files because I hoard those like a mf. The storage in my old PC (built in 2015 I think?) is a Samsung 860 500GB SATA SSD, a 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD, and a 2TB Seagate Firecuda Hybrid Drive. The Firecuda might be one of the worst purchases I've ever made. The only drive I would even think about transferring over is the 2TB Seagate Barracuda. Currently, my old video files are 60fps 1920 x 1080, but I'm looking to start recording 2560 x 1440 with this new setup. So my questions are; Should buy the 4TB SATA SSD, or if I should just get another 2TB m.2 NVME? I'm probably going to get a large External drive (like 10TB) later on because of my video hoarding problem, so which one should I look at? Are there any other issues y'all see in the build? I'm assuming I'll get ridiculed for this build because this is the first time I've looked at more expensive parts, but I hope it isn't too bad. There's no time frame for buying these items.

I am working on a video project for an orchestra in which I play. I am taking 48 different video files and arranging them into a 1920x1080 grid. It is about 7 min 30 sec video and I am not having any trouble with the cropping, scaling, or syncing. My concern arises when I attempt to render. The first time I tried to render this project in Davinci Resolve it took nearly 48 hours and crashed at 98%. After creating a comparable composition using Adobe After Effects (because it was much easier to scale and arrange 48 video files easily in AE than Premiere Pro), I imported the Composition into Premier Pro and began the render. Currently it has been running for about an hour and a half and the estimated time has increased from 6 hours to 42 hours and its still climbing. My hardware is not exactly a video editing station but should I expect these render times for my MSI GS65 Stealth with an i-7 9750h, RTX 2060, and 32 gigs of 2666 RAM? I have verified that my hardware settings in Premier Pro and After Effects should support GPU accelerated rendering but looking at task manager seems to indicate that the render I am trying to accomplish does not take advantage of this. After all, there are no effects and it is simply a 8x6 grid of 240x180 px cropped video files. My only real educated guess on why the render is taking so long is that there are many different encodings across the 48 video files that are being "combined". I am really just curios for some opinions more educated than mine as to why the render is taking so long, if this is normal for my hardware, and if there are some steps I can add to my project workflow to decrease this render time.

Budget (including currency): $5,500 (including monitor) Country: USA Main Programs: Blender, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom, potentially C4D, and potentially Unreal Engine 5 Other details In particular, I'm having difficulty understanding if my choices for memory/storage are optimal or even work with the other hardware.

Thanks in advance!

Budget (including currency): 500€ (base workstation is free or very cheap) Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: ALLPLAN, OBS, Zoom, Cinema 4D, Lumion Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Status: conceptional phase Monitors: for now 2 HD or WQHD but in future maybe 3-4 alternatively 1 4K monitor Peripherals: for now Mouse, Shuffle Board USB Controller, USB microphone, 1080p webcam in future: phantom powered large diaphragm microphone, hooing up some used DSLR for content creation In the next months i might have the opportunity to get my hands on an old DELL workstation free or very cheaply... We used it for professional work in the company I am working for but we got new beasts of workstations equipped with the best i9 series 12x and 16GB graphics cards so some old stuff hast to go... The why: I teach the software ALLPLAN to students at universities in german speaking countries (in person and online) and take part in third party financed research projects for the uni with the software. My current laptop (i7 4700mq and GTX 770M) used to handle most functions very well, never had performance issues up till now, but the GPU is not supported bythe software anymore (OpenGL version too old and no more driver updates) and some visual features dont work anymore (openings in walls not showing up, some 3D perspectives not working...) and it starts to impact the quality of my lessons. I also had the problem that the graphics card started freezing when I was attending a Zoom Meeting and sharing the CAD/BIM software. I got it to temporarily work again by setting throttle to 100% but thats no long time solution for me... I don't feel like buying a comparable up to date laptop right now for about 2000€ as there just was the first big leap in GPUs for quite some time (RTX30x and RTX40x) and with a laptop I am permanently stuck with whatever it comes with out of the box... and I see my work getting more mobile so I would prefer a ultrabook like the Surface Laptop Studio with something like a 3050 Ti (really any dedicated GPU should be enough in my experience) one or two years down the line My solution: Update 2xCPU workstation with a "cheapish" NVIDIA GPU and some RAM for CAD/BIM, 3D Modelling, Architectural Photo and Video Rendering and Live Streaming and Video Content Creation for Teaching and now and then some gaming in HD or WQHD Streaming in 4k when the districts fibreoptic cable is finished Case: To be honest i would even buy it for the nice case (DELL Precision T5600) its in... it has a steel carry handle on the front and the back and great accesibility with a removable side panel and lots of ventilation openings. Overall a lot of room to work with. I am responsible for basic IT support (software install and licenses and hardware related tasks, no server or network stuff) and I always prefered the older DELL cases to the new smaller Lenovo ones in nearly every aspect... Built out of suprisingly thick sheet metal and with lots of places for IO. CPU: Regarding CPU I am very open to your recommendations and suggestions. I know it can't match modern CPUs, even top end ones being suprisingly cheap compared to the crazy GPU prices, but for my usecase it might just work... Especially the cheap first option... Following are some ideas I have right now... 1/2 CPU Slot Intel Xeon CPU E-5 2620 0 2/2 CPU Slot empty Option 1) Because of my usecase I might actually benefit from filling the second CPU Slot. We have one Workstation with 2 matching CPUs and I notice the difference. You can get it used for around 10€ now - to be honest I am seconds away from just YOLO ordering that one XD Option 2) I am even thinking about getting the most powerfull CPU I can fit in the socket... It is an LGA2011 (Sandy Bridge) so an Ivy Bridge CPU is possible) I still have to find out if LGA2011-1 CPUs are the same as the LGA2011 I already know LGA2011-3 or LGA2011 v3 aren't compatible. I could get also one or two used Intel Xeon Processor E7 8893 V2 for about 100€ each from a professional IT supplier that cleans and tests them. Cooling: I will just by a matching Noctua Cooler or get a used cooler and add NEW ventilators to it before installing - for rendering jobs constant cooling is very important. I might also add some other ventilators from decommisioned workstations for taking air in and out of the workstation - as I have access to them... If I feel fancy, I might add some Noctua fans on the case itself and a fan controller. And some Noctua Thermal Paste or another non conductive Thermal Paste - not feeling like adding liquid metall as the motherboard is mounted vertically and I don't feel like taking this risk... Motherboard: unknown 2 CPU motherboard (likely OEM) with 2x4 RAM slots for DDR3 RAM RAM: at least one RAM slot is damaged (computer won't start if a RAM is installed, if you install more than one RAM the computer starts to throttle like a vacuum cleaner, so another one might have issues as well) currently equipped with 16GB of DDR3 RAM (slow one 1600MHz but we have faster ones in some Workstation and you don't notice the difference the software we use) we have many old DDR3 RAM Sticks laying around that I can also get just by asking so I just have to try around which slots still work and how much RAM i can put in at max... but i won't be needing any more than 16 to 32 GB for now I also have two old PCs standing around at home that have compatible RAM but were only equipped with ancient Intel i3 or i5... GPU some old AMD Firepro (not supported by the professional software I use) ONLY NVIDIA is recommended by the companies that produce the software I am using, so sadly AMD is not an Option at all I am not afraid of a used GPU, even one from a miner would be fine as it doesn't have to survive for years... But if I can't find a used one for a good price and from a trustworthy seller I might just buy a RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3050 Ti... If I can't find anything matching my criteria I will just buy any GPU that runs the OpenGL specs I require... Because most of my usecases are CPU heavy rather than GPU - I tested the new 16GB CPUs my company bought - I had to try really hard to get them to 20% workload (mostly moving in the 3D environment at veery high resolution and frames per second - the software saddly doesn't really use the GPU for Rendering any of Camera Flights or pictures) Only real requirement is that it supports 3-4 monitors in HD or WGHD and some 4k streaming or video editing on a single monitor. SSD: some 512GB or 1TB SSD in sale or I keep the old one installed in the PC - after it is overwritten and deleted according to company policy... RAID or backup in general doesn't matter, as the important stuff is in the cloud and stuff that is personaly important to me is backed up to external drives manually but regularly Network: a 2x1Gbit Network Card is already installed doesn't have WIFI - will be added same for bluetooth SoundCard: thinking about adding an PCIe Soundcard https://www.thomann.de/at/esi_maya44_ex.htm may add one for using Large Diaphragm microphones (recording tutorials and streaming lessons) have one powered by USB, it has a nice sound quality but I have to stick close to it and talk a bit louder... I already tried phantom powered microphones at a friends place - even cheap record you much louder, more relaxing for me in the longterm PowerSupply: will uninstall and clean with compressed air and see if I have to get a more powerfull one... RGB: maybe some simple and cheap lighting just for fun XD the cooling openings would show light from inside the tower but nothing complicated USB: if i happen to stick with the device long term If i have fitting slots left i might add a USB3.0 or USB4.0 card for backing up projects (building models and Renderings and videos can get huge - no motivation to run a NAS or similiar server) Operating System: already comes with Win10 Pro maybe even Win11 Pro I will repost in this thread if I really start my project... Feel free to share your tips or opinions with me - I am very open to suggestions and criticism and happy to benefit from your experiences.

Hello! So I've got this setup Now I'm gonna try video editing with it, using Premier Pro, I'd like your opinion on what gpu would be best to pair this setup with?

Hi, I'm kind of a noob with all the computer tech stuff, please continue to read after this At the moment I'm using a 10 year old macbook pro with final cut pro for my job ( video editing) It's time for a new one, and I'm thinking about a iMac because mostly working from home. The problem is I don't know what processor is best for my purposes. Do I really need the more expensive processor for video editing? It would be €325 extra 21,5 inch macbook pro 16GB DDR4 memory Radeon Pro 555X 2GB GDDR5 1TB Fusion drive memory Processor 3,6GHz quad-core intel Core i3 8th generation OR 3,2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7 8th Generation with Turbo boost (+€325) Thanks a lot for your help guys! Cheers

HELLO FELLAS! i have a core i3 4005U @ 1.7GHZ and 4 GB ram @ 1700MHZ and looking forward to start a youtube channel(dedicated to GAMING) to support my studies and my family at such an pandemic time this thing is terribly slow on INTEL 4400 GRAPHICS and i am using Hitfilm express for video editing on this super slow machine and it even struggles to get 30+ fps on this machine even with an SSD so i cannot do anything on this machine i want you to help me me with this old machine also as this is a laptop it has a mobile cpu .

Hi! I’m planning to do a montage of some of the cars in nfs heat. I’m just wondering would i need a capture card for my ps4 pro to get videos and pictures from the game?

Hey,guys so I was wondering how much does 30fps and 60fps affect rendering time.I am on Adobe premiere pro and I mostly don't render at max depth or render quality since that takes lot of time.I usually use higher bit rate like 30mbps and rendering a normal 10mins 30fps video takes 13-14mins... Today tho I made a 3hr long video that has 97songs 105 text titles, 6layers of text layers(above each other) through entire clip,24 different videos. And there's an image that has rotation animation that runs through entire clip too. My render time is estimated at 9hr 7mins and I am not that surprised considering the project is too much CPU intensive still I was wondering whether lowering the fps from 60 to 30 reduce the rendering time ??? My Computer specs FX 8320 Black edition 16gb fury X R9 270x 4GB Using HDD as output

Looking for some advice on what cpu is the best when it comes to video editing with a budget of 500 usd.

I am planning to buy a mobile workstation for my daily workflows, occasional 4K editing and a lot of Illustrator / Photoshop / InDesign.. I do not have a lot of money to spend on a laptop (~1500$). I looked over the internet and I found the mid 2014 model with the NVIDIA card and a 512GB SSD... This should be the best choice for me, I think. What's your opinion guys, is it worth it nowadays, should I opt for something else? Another great choice for me would be the 2015 Dell XPS 15 with the 1080p panel - is it okay for print ready work? I've searched online and it covers 95% of sRGB, but I couldn't find how much it covers from the Adobe color spectrum. Which panel is better? The 4K display would be a far better alternative, but my pocket is really crying at this moment. Thanks!

I have been thinking about building a gaming rig since a long time. Below are the things which i will be doing with this new Rig. 1. Most of the time i will be playing competitive CSGO on a 144hz monitor. 2. I will be streaming CSGO game play on YouTube or Twitch. 3. I will create CSGO related video content for my main YouTube channel. I want at least 170 fps on 1080p resolution while streaming. I know that single core performance of i7 7700k is better then r1700 but r1700 is better when it comes to streaming and video editing. I have watched many YouTube videos related to these 2 cpus but now i am really confused after watching many videos and reading reviews on Reddit (thanks to fucking biased communities) . I don't want this cpu to be a heater as well because i had really bad experience with AMD cpus in the past and at the same time i don't want to make my buy decision based on the future performance improvements (i still remember AMD'S promise when they released octa core cpu in 2012 which was never fulfilled). please help me to make the right decision because both the processors need different motherboards and if i make a wrong decision it will be a complete mesh .

Hey Guys, I'm in need of new graphics card. GTX1060 and RX480 come in my budget. Usage for card is Video Editing, Motion Graphics. Software I use Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, Photoshop CC, Da Vinci Resolve, C4D. Sometimes I play games System Configuration: Intel 6700k Gigabyte Z170-D3H Kingston 16GB RAM GPU AMD 6770 SSD 480GB HDD 2TB NZXT S340 Cooler Master 212x EVO Corsair 550 Watt PSU DELL 1440P Monitor So, My question is which card should I get GTX 1060 with 3GB vRAM or 6GB OR RX480 with 8GB/4GB ? Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys, What would be the best Laptop I could get for around $600 to $800 dollars that will do some light video editing, and browsing? I am kind of tempted to wait and see what the Ryzen mobile line up is going to look like, but I might not be able to wait that long. Being able to upgrade it would be a plus.
