ULTIMATE PC BUILD?? HELP!!

[NeilMcMahon12]

Hi, 

 

I have not built a PC before, but I am looking at creating an all round machine if possible. I do a lot of Drone work and editing, which could be up to 4k at times. I also do my fair share of gaming and would like my PC to be able to cope well all round. My potential build would be the following:

 

Item
Processor	AMD Threadripper 2950x
Processor Fan	Corsair H100i V2.0
MotherBoard	ASUS ROC ZENITH
RAM	G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB
Storage SSD	SAMSUNG EVO 1TB
Storage HDD	4tb WD Purple
Video Card	Asus - GeForce GTX 1070ti
Case	Corsair - 750D ATX
Power Supply	EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 850W

 

Have I got everything covered? Is there anywhere that you would improve? Will it be capable of gaming and Editing and playing 4k Videos? 

 

Any replies would be much appreciated

you say ultimate PC but have a 1070TI on the list, lol.

 

Whats your budget? Whats your country? What games are you playing? What resolution are you playing at?

 

Honestly, you probably don't need a threadripper 2950X. A high end Intel CPU like (can't believe I'm saying this) the 9900k might be better in this case. It will probably take a little longer for the renders, but at the same time, you'll get better gaming performance and save some money because the CPU and motherboard will be cheaper.

What would you recommend other that the 1070ti? I am a novice to this really. 

 

The budget is sort of variable by my work so its hard to say at the moment. I will be playing games like Far Cry, GTA etc... and I would like to play as high a resolution as possible.

I mean, you probably don't want to spend a shitload of money. I honestly don't recommend you playing in 4K (thats the highest res to consumers right now). Maybe 1440p? If you don't have monitors you'll have to buy them.

Yea I would use all adobe software, Video editing is Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Does Intel handle this better?

Yeah. Adobe favors clock speeds and Intel is able to hit higher clock speeds than AMD. Threadripper doesn't go as high as a 9900k or other Intel high end CPU.

What would you recommend instead of the 1070ti? The trouble is the drone captures in 4k so for the editing side of things it would need to be able to render 4k data

yah Intel tends to perform better, take a look here:

 

here you can see the 2990WX getting crushed in premiere pro and at 14min you can see the Intel chips win again in Photoshop. If you use Blender a lot then TR is great, but as you use a lot of Premiere Pro i would recomend getting an I9 9900K or one of the higher end HEDT chips from Intel

The CPU is going to be the main factor in rendering, but I assume you know about speeding up the render by using the GPU and CPU to render the files faster. An RTX card will be better than a 1070Ti for this. Choose a resolution before a card, though.

 

You don't have to get a 4k monitor to watch 4k footage, I think it'll just downscale it to make it viewable.

i mean, i would suggest a 9900k with a gigabyte mobo, an rtx 2080, 32gb of ram, and an AIO (at least 240mm). also get a good 4k monitor with an ips panel if you don't have one already.

What do you all think of the case, Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition?
