Hello guys, what do you think off my new pc build. Will be using it for gaming and video editing.

Other than that case, it's good.

I'd rather swap that mobo with a x570 one and that memory with a 3600mhz one.

Okay cool. I don’t really have the budget to upgrade the case so went with that one

[LukeSavenije]

how about this? I'd recommend to wait for aftermarket versions of the 5700xt tho

what software for this?

 

Preference on size, RGB, maybe brand?

Nice idea dumping so much budget into the board and leave storage space this limited. Disagree with CPU choice as well, R5 3600 can already keep up in some workstation tasks and much better in gaming, for a few quid more.

there's no bios flashback so bootkit required, there's still not enough storage, the GPU got better for no reason since video editing is mainly about the CPU. I have no idea what you're doing

 

Put the 5700 (maybe non-XT instead) back, add a hard drive for mass storage, change the CPU back to the 3700X is what I'm aiming to do, though I'll wait till OP answers my question earlier on first

Pretty much the same build but with different mobo. I like the tomohawk board better so will go with that build but thanks anyway. Really appreciate the reply

I know the 3600 is better for gaming but I won’t be playing demanding games- so it makes more sense to get the extra cores. The games I play I can run on my laptop is s shitty i5

I'm comparing to Luke's original choice of 2nd gen Ryzen 7 2700. No point of that when you could get the 3700X

Yeah then absolutely not 2nd gen for this budget

So the 3700x is the best choice your saying right?

Yes, cant go with faster CPUs without cutting some massive corners elsewhere.

 

Still need to find data on how well Premiere Pro likes hardware acceleration with Navi GPU. Before Navi it's always better to use Nvidia, in your case means going for a 2060 Super.

So you think I should go with the 2060 over the 5700xt?

can't see any testing with Navi just yet, so just speculation at this point. At the end of the day CPU matters a lot more so it's not like you'll lose much, less than the noise problem and potential performance limiting factor with the blower cooler on the reference cards.

[Lurick]

Well, you'll need an older gen chip to update the BIOS or a shop that can update the BIOS for you. What's your budget?

Why a 3700X and not a 3600?

What’s the bois ?? I’m new to this and I want the cores and threads for video editing as this is the main purpose of the video. The 3600 is better for gaming but the main game I play (runescape) can be run on like an i3

The BIOS is what initializes the hardware and lets your computer boot. If you have an incompatible CPU or one that the BIOS doesn't have the firmware to recognize it won't boot the system.

 

 

I build another possible rig for you with a compatible motherboard out of the box, the GPU can be a placeholder if you have more budget but I would hold off on the 5700XT until aftermarket cards come out at least, the blow cards are generally loud.

Ah, I did not know that so good to know. OP would need to be comfortable downloading the BIOS and tossing it on a USB stick but that's pretty easy

So know you know that the tomohawk has the BOIS flashback. Which build would you recommend ? The original build I had or the new one you created??

If you don't want to have to worry about BIOS flashback at all then I would suggest something else BUT if you're okay with downloading the BIOS and walking through the steps (pretty much plug in a USB drive and it takes care of the rest) then some combination of the two builds might be good. Swap the x570 with your B450 board and maybe look at a different GPU. I only say that because I've dealt with blower cards and they are just overly loud when they don't need to be =/
