Making A New AMD Rig "Requesting Advise".

[deeparora9414]

Hi Folks,
My Name is Deepanshu.

I would like to have your opinion on an Important matter For Me.

I am going to build an AMD based PC for professional Video Editing purpose.
I live in INDIA And some important components are going to purchase from canada, because they are cheaper there and my cousin is coming from canada around march this year to INDIA

So, i have never build a pc myself, and not sure if these components are compatible or not.

I have around 1400-1500 Canadian dollar budget.
i am going to install Windows XP (Because One particular Video editing software [Avid Liquid 7] run only on XP) and Windows 7 on new ssd.

i only searched prices at amazon.ca. but open for new site sugessions but it has to be a reputable site in canada.

1) CPU:- Please recommend one of these.
Ryzen 7 2700   
Ryzen 7 2700x  
Ryzen 7 3700x  
Ryzen 7 3800x  
Ryzen 5 3600    
Ryzen 5 3600x  
- only going to use stock cpu fan.
- not going to overclock.
Extra Q. In these which one is better = 3600x or 2700x.

 

2) Extra fans and thermals - i don't know anything about it. i keep my Case/chessy always open from one side. Please comment if you have any recommendation.
                                           - i don't use any AC. Only ceiling Fan and Air Cooler in Summer.

3) Graphics Card:- please recommend.
Budget for this is 400$.
I heard that for video editing - NVIDIA
And for gaming - AMD. But it would also depend on editing software. Because of Nvidia's CUDA, and Amd's OpenGL technology. Some software works better with nvidia and some works better with amd.
- By the way i am using EDIUS 8 for video editing.
- it should be atleast gddr5, better if gddr6.

4) SSD - Please recommend.
- gen. 4 serbent or corsair or any better with heatsync.
- i am going to use it only for 2 operating systems and not for storage purpose.
- budget is 150-200$.
- For Storage, i already have Three 2tb WD Hdds.

5) Monitor:- i am currently using a DEL 21 inch LED or LCD i don't know.
   i have no intention to change it.

6) Peripherals :- no intention to change mice, keyboard, monitor and sound system.

7)  RAM:- please recommend.
i am thinking   2x8 gb = 16gb would suffice for dual band.
And all brands 3600mhz are available from 100$ to 130$.

Motherboard:-  please recommend.
Budget for motherboard is around 300$.
I don't have any particular requirement, But,
- It should be ATX or gaming, not small.
- Don't have to have wifi or bluetooth, but better if it has.
- should have m.2 port for ssd.
- Better if it has pcie 4.0.

9) Power supply:- please recommend
I already have coolar master thunder 500w, i don't know if it would suffice.
- budget for this is 100$ if i have to
   purchase a new one.

10) Chessy/Case : - please recommend.
- i have No preference
- Budget for this is 100$ if i have to purchase a new one.
i am currently using a zebronics' chessy
For intel 2nd generation ATX motherboard.

Thanks in Advance.

PS.  - Please Comment if it would all be compatible or not.
       - Budget can be tweaked for hardwares. at your will But max budget is 1500$.
        - AND if there would be any problem of voltage and ampere from canada and india. INDIAN household electricity voltage is 220v-250v. (Answered)

Go with 3600mhz 2x18GB RAM Kit
Upgrade ur PSU to a 650-700W PSU
MSI B450 Tomahawk as your motherboard
Buy any sort of 500mb/s SSD, they are all good and from reputable brands always, unless you want M.2 then you should go for Samsung EVO's
Unless ur Monitor is 144hz already, u should buy a 144hz refresh rate monitor, i recomend aoc g2590fx
For GPU you can go with the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2070 Mini 8GB GDDR6, it might be a little bit overbudget, but ur saving in another parts so you can afford 50$ extra,
For CPU definetely Ryzen 5 3600X
Buy 2 extra 120 or 140mm case fans, depending on your chassis
For peripherials you should find ones that you feel comfortable for you, since these are different for everyone, i personally recommend the Duck Mini 2 as keyboard and Glorious Model O as your mouse, and G430 Logitech as headsets

Video editing is cpu bound, so getting the 3700x is more important than getting a better gpu. I've paired it with a high quality motherboard and fast 3600 c16 ram.

Changed the psu to a high quality one.

Case is good for airflow, especially with the added case fans. So don't keep it open, it works better if closed and fans installed correctly ( 3 intake at front, 2 top exhaust, 1 back exhaust).

Windows XP? There's no drivers available and you'll have a lot of incompatibility issues.

Why would you need Gen4? it doesn't help in Windows, and it's too expensive right now to justify it, you'd have to wait a bit.

That won't be an issue, all power supplies support 100V-240V

Here's my suggestion for a build

Ryzen processors don't support Windows XP anymore.

 

You can run Windows XP in a virtual machine, like VirtualBox for example. All Ryzen processors support virtualization, so it will work smoothly. This way you also don't need dual boot, you just launch the virtual machine from a disk image and it will just work.

At least with Virtualbox, it's possible you won't have great DirectX acceleration (games probably won't run very well) but for applications and programming, it works well enough.

 

If you want pci-e 4.0, you need to buy an x570 chipset based motherboard, which will usually be more expensive. With a limited budget, it may make more sense to stay with a pci-e 3.0 only motherboard that costs 50-100$ less, and use those funds to buy a better graphics cards as that will matter for games.

 

Modern power supplies handle universal voltage, so they'll  work within something like 90v AC .. 260v AC , when you go in India you'll just have to change the power cable (which is standard, easy to change)
