Hey guys

I'm about to build my first Custom PC and I want this rig to be suitable for video editing and gaming. I have $1500 to spend on. Here are the list:

CPU: Core i5 4670K

RAM: Corsair vengeance 32GB

Graphics Card: ASUS GTX770 DC20C-2GD5

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP LGA1150

CPU cooling: Corsair H100i

SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB (boot drive)

Storage: 2TB WD Green

Monitor: ASUS MX239h

If you guys have any recommendation, feel free to comment. Because I'm newbie to this custom build PC.

Thanks!!

You don't really need 32 GB of memory in a system like that. 16GB is fine, and is what I use in my editing system.

I already have a monitor which is the ASUS MX239h, and they're great. I also have a G710+ and I'm still looking for a good mouse.

Also: I live in Indonesia so I'm using IDR as my currency. I still don't know about what casing should I use

If your gonna do editing i would drop the 32gb and go for 16gb, and get the 4770k instead. Hyper-threading helps a lot in editing and rendering compared to the i5. Please get the i7

So are you needing a second monitor? I'm confused...

[General_Led]

And do you need a OS?

[meka]

I do not need a second monitor as I already had one. Windows 8 will be my OS

What store are you buying from?

How much editing are we talking about?

[JamesMontour]

What kind of footage are you editing? Is it 1080p, 720p, 2K, 4K, etc? If you're doing 2K or lower then 16GB of RAM will be plenty, especially if its 1600MHz-CL9 or higher.

What software will you be using to edit video with?

Also, something like a Seagate Barracuda for the storage drive would be better, WD Green's are 5400rpm drives so video editing will be slowed down by this, especially during exporting.

 

With the money saved on the RAM get an i7-4770k.
