HI everybody,

 

I am looking for my new computer after years having laptop but now it is not sufficient and I would like to buy desktop and have no clue. I do not play games, and if, it's some easy stuff like chess lol. Computer will be used for video editing mainly as well for office work. I used to work with Sony Vegas but will start using other SW as well as mentioned above. Got new phone and camera and both can record 4K but my laptop cannot even play 4K, so was thinking about desktop being able to do so, but if quality will be better with FullHD video recordings after render, I would stick to that. But would be nice to have this option like that computer could easily work with 4K. My budget is 800-850 pounds, no need for OS or monitor. Living in UK - so I might buy parts to build it or pre-build in store, depending on your advices what and where to buy, if possible.

Some say it is more important to have good GC but then others suggest it is more important to have better CPU. Also, what is the difference in Intel or AMD RYzen build? Been also told Intel is top in the game for video editing CPUs than AMD.... confused so much. Any input would be great. 

I appreciate your time! Thank you in advance.

Ok so I bumped my budget a bit, now I am thinking about Ryzen 3700X, 32GB 3200MHz ram, Nvidia GeForce 1660 Super 6GB - all other stuff I would agree. But What you think abt your suggested graphics VS 1660 Super? I know 8GB VRAM is better for 4K editing, but according to internet and few benchmarks I came across comparing these two, Nvidia came out better, even though they came out at the same month of 2019 - which one would suggest, if AMD is 8GB card, therefore it would perform better, but that is not the case. What you think abt my changes? Budget is like 1000,- now.

Puget Systems recommends; 4gb of vram for 1080p, 6gb for 4k, 8gb for 6k, and 10gb+ for 8k in Premiere Pro. For DaVinci Resolve they recommend; 4gb for 1080p, 8gb for 4k, and 20gb+ for 6/8k.

 

I use to edit 4K with 1050ti 4gb, no problem at all, maybe depends on the footage codec and file size.

For youtube edit like 10-15minutes i had not problem.

 

If you use it primarily for editing, yes nvidia has the edge.

[Grey Eminence]

Yeah, not going to use DaVinci, so 6GB 1660 Super should be ok then

I read some reviews of that case, first it seemed fine but then maybe it is not good for airflow and I do not want to overhead inside of the case. Any other case suggestions?
