CPU good for editing?

So I'm building my first PC tomorrow and wanted to know how my CPU will perform in editing. I have a Ryzen 5 2600X i plan to OC to about 4.2ghz. It has 6 cores, 12 threads, and has nearly 20MB of total cache memory with a 12 nano meter lithography. Will this be good for video editing I want to do? I have a good SSD (ADATA SU800 Ultimate) and running a Superclocked EVGA GeForce GTX 970. I plan to do likely 720p editing or maybe even 1080p editing and video rendering. Thanks.

I've done some light editing on my Ryzen 5 1600, it's a beast.

 

You shouldn't have any problems with a 2600x.

Expect more than 720p, it's a very capable CPU

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'd sooner suggest 2600(NON X) and aftermarket cooler if you're gonna OC anyway OR just getting a 2700(NON X) but yeah should be plenty for 720p; 1080p will be a little bit more but eitherway it's still probably much more value here for workstation uses than you'd get out of anything intel in any similar price range.

Dude, get a ThreadRipper 32 core 64 threads.  Your videos will render soo fast.  your bank account will also render a negative 1600 bucks.  A 64 threadripper will kill anything intel has to offer except their 48 core xeon boxes.  Also if your doing this also get a 1080 GTX ....... your GPU is going to get used constantly, might as well have one thats really powerful compared to a 970.  good luck
