Work PC Build for editing

[mavericking]

Hey guys,

 

So my team is planning to get a couple of new rigs for editing. 

INTEL CORE I7 8700 (6 CORE/ 12 THREADS/4.6GHZ) COOLERMASTER MASTER LIQUID ML240L RGB (RGB) ASUS PRIME Z390M-PLUS(8 Phases VRM/ATX/Support RGB/4xDDR4 4266mhz/CF/4xSata3/2xM.2/GBLAN) GSKILL TridentZ ROYAL Silver RGB 2x8GB DDR4 3000mhz (F4-3000C16D-16GTRS) ASUS GTX1060 DUAL-GTX1060-O6G 6GB DDR5 192BIT (1809/8000) CoolerMaster MWE Gold 750 (80+Gold / Full Modular) NZXT PHANTOM 630 BLACK Western Digital 2.5” Blue SSD 250GB SATA WDS100T2B0A (550/525) WD 1TB Scorpio Blue 5400RPM/128Mb (WD10SPZX) CREATIVE Sound BlasterX G1 (Portable SoundCard with Headphone AMP) Tplink T4U AC1200/Dlink DWA-182 Wireless AC 1200Mbps Dual Band USB Adapter
Question is, is it better to get the RAM as highlighted, or go with more RAM but with a lower speed? We're looking to get the render speed as near to real time as possible

I'd go for more ram. Especially if you use a lot of effects. Maybe consider going with ryzen since you can get more cores for the same price.

what software set do you use?

 

id also avoid using that AIO

Thanks for the fast reply, guys

we use the full adobe suite.

 

what is AIO? sorry, a bit of a noob when it comes to the parts

AIO (All-In-One), it refers to the liquid cooler you picked. just use a Aircooler instead unless you are shelling out for a more expencive AIO. also aircoolers are a lot more reliable.

if you are looking for realtime rendering you might want to pick up the 9900k. or perhaps a hedt CPU, though we dont know the budget you are working with.

If Adobe software is all you will be working on, you better stick with intel. Especially if you user premiere lot. If heavy rendering is what you need, you might have to consider the X299 platform if your budget allow. The choice of which CPU depends very much of the kind of work and software you need. Like blender really like the higher core count from AMD, but adobe premiere works really well with Inter with igpu. You can go the Gamers Nexus review of the cpu you want, they coverers a wide range of work load that might be useful for you.

 

And I am not sure if it is money well spent with the Gskill TridentZ ROYAL. It is expensive because of its look (and RGB), which in everyday task didn't make much difference (and Intel cpu didn't benefit much from ram speed), you will be way better to get more ram in the system,16g is only enough for gaming.

 

BTW, that CM cpu cooler (AIO) is known to be the worse amount the competitor.

Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah, our budget (after conversion) is about 1.7K USD , and this spec pretty much eats up all the budget already haha

Will definitely look more into the specs, especially the cooler

As far a i understand you don't benefit a lot with more GPU horsepower using adobe. It is more depended on CPU and VRAM capacity. So do you edit 4k or 8k footage? 

In the past Nvidia was king speed wise for Adobe and the launch of the Radeon VII probably wont change that but you can get 16 GB of HBM2 VRAM for 700$ so if you work with 8k i would suggest that direction.

A 9900k is probably to much and Intel is just stronger than the Ryzen lineup. But Ryzen 3 is around the corner you could choose the AM4 upgrade path and could get a better value.

A 2700X is on par with the 9700k in Premiere and the platform coast is significantly lower. 

And 32 GB of RAM is recommended even if you are just going with 1080p footage.

 

With everything i just puked out i am referring to Puget System Hardware Recommendations for Adobe Premiere 

 

So you are telling me you have 1.700 $ budget per system. Please tell us where you are from and the budget in your currency. Pricing and availability is not really consisted over the globe.
