Hey everyone, 

I am looking to build a new PC mainly for gaming (city skylines, cs:go) and video editing (Premier Pro).

Unfortunately I have very little knowledge about computer building.

 

 I would be very grateful if you could suggest me a build.

Maybe something like this?

 

~790€ for the gpu so maybe 3060ti or 3070

Premiere is Adobe so there’s going to be an argument for Mac.  Their best chips only come in laptops at the moment, so for apple pro level stuff it kind of comes down to do you want a laptop atm.  For desktop choices it starts with AMD vs Intel.  Intel’s 12th gen chips are both impressive and cheap.  They do better with win11 than win10, and they apparently don’t run everything, so looking at compatibility may be a really big deal here.  If Alder lake won’t run the apps you want to run it’s near useless to you.  Ironically AMD seems to be better at compatibility at the moment, though that has been known to change from week to week.

The big problem with desktops at the moment is video cards.  High end modern video cards have been double whammied by both the supply chain crunch and the crypto mining boom.  Prices are sky high.  So high that some people are either simply not upgrading (such as myself so far) or are going through weird contortions to get things built. The last two build logs I’ve seen here have been laptops rebuilt into desktop configs. (So apple pops back up)  I don’t know what company, Nvidia or AMD, makes a preferred card for Premire pro.  My suspicion (and no more than that.  I’m literally guessing here.  I suggest looking this one up) would be AMD because the maker will have greater than average experience with AMD architecture because they make stuff for apple and apple doesn’t do Nvidia at all and hasn’t for some time. Also I don’t see how Premire would have a massive use for tensor cores. Doesn’t mean they don’t.  Tensor is used for RT ray tracing in games which you won’t have a use for in premiere I suspect, but they’re also use for AI stuff which might matter (I don’t know)
