help wanted 4k Editing Workstation

[ItWasEnder]

Budget (including currency): $$$

Country: Unuted States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Editing 4k Video (large files)

 

We currently have a Ryzen 5 2600, 2 1080 TI (EVGA), 1200W Corsair PSU, 32 Corsair vengeance pro (3000mhz) memory, Asus strix b450-f motherboard, and shitty Corsair 120mm aio. 

 

We need to upgrade the cpu and motherboard (possibly cooling as well). Any suggestions welcome. (No threadripper or equivalent please, Max $500 for a CPU)

Are you talking about the ones that are about to come out?

[SupaKomputa]

Yeah, like why not?

Or you could buy the 6 core 5600X for $300.

You have to change the motherboard tho.

That motherboard doesn't support it till january.

Im in a similar boat but Im waiting to see the benchmarks for the new Ryzens. 

 

You could get a 3700x for the same price of a 5600x and the 3700 will have more cores. 

 

Until pudget systems for example benchmark it its really hard to know how the new cpus will compare. 

 

Id hold off for a while.

 

For reference this is roughly what Im looking at doing in the next month or so

Still debating the GPU and amount of Ram.

Yeah only reason I have it is because it was my old one and it supports SLI (but I can't seem to get it working)

 

-- Edit --

It actually doesn't support sli

Dual 1080ti can be easily replaced with a single 3080 or 3090 in term of performance.
