Possible light editing rig

[heydavewhite]

Hi guys, Its Dave

 

I'm thinking of building a light editing rig. I'm not looking to become a full fledged creator, just make some videos of gaming, etc from time to time.

 

I have a second computer with an FX 8350 and 16 GB RAM in it. I have the opportunity to buy a 4x8 kit of DDR3 32 GB 1600 MHz RAM for $60. Would this be a decent set up for light editing?

 

Thank you for your time.

Hey Dave, 

I would get a Ryzen 5 based machine with a decent gpu (Vega 56, RX, or 2060)

That ram you could buy, is DDR3, so its not usable now

That second computer, could be used as a capture machine tho, so its not wasted

My main rig has a 1700x and a Vega 56, with 16 GB 3200 MHz RAM. When you say use the other as a capture machine, do you mean adding something like an El Gato card?

An elgato or Ripsaw would work great

 

Nice Duke Nukem quote btw

Would my current rig be suitable for editing? Maybe adding another 16 GB of RAM?

 

Don't forget Army of Darkness, haha.
