Here's a test for you guys (Video Editing Build)

[LukeYNWA]

Righty,

 

I'm looking to build a rig mainly for video editing/recording and soft gaming. Now the challenge is, I only have £500 to do so BUT...

 

I already have the following:

 

AMD FX-8320 CPU

GTX 780 GPU

 

So I need something built around these two that's good for video editing in, Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas.

 

No peripherals needed, Windows 8.1 needed though.

 

Thanks guys.

for video editing i would go with slightly faste memory, considering that the price to 1333 mhz is no that different taking for example a 1833 kit

Look at the price of the ram. It's a wierd thing that happens in the Uk sometimes they sell 12gb of ram for 25 pounds. An 8 gb kit costs more than that. Also and i'm going to sound like a sazzy bitch saying READ before correcting me.

i  was just saying for video editing faster ram is really an improvement, also this forum is meant for discussions so ill discuss and if i think that i want to add someting to what you said or "correct" it i will do that
