Is this a decent MB CPU combo for video editing?

[Pink Panther]

Looking into building a new PC to do video editing. I found this combo on Amazon:  ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 B450 Bundle with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor.  I know it is not the newest and fastest but am on a budget.

no, pretty bad, i personally like asus but that is not that good mobo. You should get msi b450 tomahawk max instead.

that strix board is really good if you find a good deal on it m.2 with a heatsink really nice board and the 2600 is still a competent cpu if you find a good deal for the 3600 i'd recommend going with that instead

The B450F is super bad value though. The VRM heatsink is garbage and the VRM components and design are mediocre. There are better value B450 boards.

When using M.2 SSD, the board disables SATA ports 5 and 6. This is expected and documented behavior. It becomes a problem when SATA ports 3/4 suddenly stop working, leaving you with only 2 SATA ports. Upon initial build, I did not notice any problems. My configuration consisted of a M.2 SSD as the system drive, a SATA 4TB HHD in SATA 1 for storage, Bluray burner in SATA2, and a SATA SSD for user Data in SATA3. After installing drivers and software and cycling through a few reboots, I noticed my user data drive was missing. I was unable to find it listed in Hardware manager. Booting into the BIOS, I could see it listed. I changed out cables and tried again, and it no longer showed in BIOS or windows. Swapping cables between SATA1/2 devices and the missing devises resulted in the missing devices showing up and the other devices not showing up any longer. I tried multiple different cable and port configurations. All signs pointed to bad SATA ports on the motherboard. I removed the M.2 drive and tested again, as this would remove any disabled ports. SATA 1/2 and 5/6 would register devices, however nothing from 3/4 in BIOS. I also noticed that the front panel lights no longer worked. Checking voltages from the pins showed none present when there should be. It seems like there is a fault on this board.

I'm in USA and budget is between $500 and $700 for Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Video Card and new M.2 Boot Drive.  I have CPU cooler, Case and PS already.  Upgrading from a Asus Hero IV with i7-4700k CPU with twin Nvidia GTX 750's

Thank you for this information.  I will keep looking.

if you can speed 200usd on a motherboard get the x570 elite, otherwise, 110-120 on a b450 tomahawk max

 

if you do decide on the 3600, get this ram

You should get 3600x instead of 3600 since it has better stock cooler than 3600

The difference between them it's worth like 20$. If it's more, you're better off getting the 3600 an buying a separate, much better cooler.

no just no... that value is sooo bad you can get that clock frequency with the 3600 with the MCE profile with the stock cooler and it'll be perfectly fine
