SATA or M.2

 

Would I need a video card? If so, what are the variables that I'd need to consider and what do they mean?

@jammer2001 Are you just going to ignore our recommendations?

 

The list I've previously made out follows all your guidelines being under $1000 and is a great value.

You're better off getting 16GB of cheaper RAM. Something like a G.Skill Aegis kit for $100.

 

The SSD is overpriced. Just get a cheap DRAMless model like a Silicon Power A60 or HP EX900 unless you're doing 4K+ video editing.

What's a good cheap CPU cooler? What's the best budget RAM? What's the best budget SSD storage? any recommended peripherals? How would I figure out what motherboard is compatible with which CPUs (whoops that was originally a typo)? 

 

Budget: less than $1000 CAD

 

For video editing and gaming

I'm going to be going over the peripherals since I didn't see anybody talk about it (sorry if i'm late) For your mouse, you should get the wireless corsair harpoon, the keyboard could be a Hyperx FPS pro, and a 30% large stitched edges victsing mouspad.

Thanks, at this point I'm working on figuring out the parts before worrying about the peripherals.

Hey I decided to make a page on my website that has all the polls on it so I don't have to keep posting. I'll update it whenever there's a new one.

Should I go with the ASUS TUF Gaming 3 AMD Radeon RX 5700XT or the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER WINDFORCE or MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ventus GP

You're buying 3 fans with that case. You should get a higher end case instead.

 

That motherboard is ridiculously overpriced. Get a power supply for such a high end rig. I'll put up a list in a couple hours

@LienusLateTips Or with that case how many do I need?

[jammer2001]

Budget (including currency): 2000 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming in general (I don't plan to play any heavy games. My Steam library), video editing (Premiere) and, VMs in VMWare (Windows 8.1 and Server 2013)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

The RX 5700XT will have slightly better gaming performance, but a 2060 Super has a Nvenc encoder which helps with Video Editting. They're both good cards, it's really about whether you care more about gaming or video editting, and a side bonus of the 2060 Super is that it has raytracing if that matters to you.

Do you need to buy it now?
Next gen graphics cards are only a few months away.

yes

 

which one should I pick?

[dizmo]

I'd go with the Nvidia card, but I prefer their drivers so I'm biased.
