i think i have it figured out, you judge it

[My project called life]

Budget (usd): 1700$

Country: USA

Workloads: a LOT of video editing, light gaming and Google is my bestie

Other details https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mjr234
I use 1080p rn but I will be going to 1440p later

what you're upgrading from, Amazon.com: HP S01-pf1013w Slim Desktop Celeron G5900 3.4GHz Intel UHD Graphics 610 4GB RAM 1TB HDD Win 10 Home Black : Electronics

whether any peripherals are needed - nope 

when you're going to buy, in the next month

ddr4 is not negotiable nor is the pc case i like the storage to

 

[dizmo]

I'd probably try and get a 64GB kit, not 2 32GB kits.

Other than that it looks fine. Fans are kind of a waste of money but if you really want them to at 'er.

Looks fine. I wouldn't get an MSI motherboard as I've had tons of issues with them, but others haven't so

[Dukesilver27-]

Heavily under-spend on GPU, overpriced stuff replaced.

If you use CPU to do video editing, then I guess why not, but 4060 is not going to hold up for 1440p in the long run, for current games maybe.

And don't pay $100 for windows, plenty of sellers sell them for less than $50.

I don't know what a NLE is, but i use a mix of Wondershare Filmora, and OBS as my video editing software
i swap between them a lot

NLE = Non-Linear Editing. Its one of the more common system of editing a content, hence why I ask for your apps, I should've specify video editor instead.

Now the big ticket. 3060 12GB or 3060Ti is enough for both 1080p gaming and video editing, and it would be rock bottom cheap. But considering that Filmora GPU acceleration is kind of meh, you could go for RX 6650 XT instead which would be my pick for 1080p gaming. But if you are considering to transition to 1440p very soon, then either go for RX 6800XT, or 4070.

I mean feel free, although its not as significant of a price cut as you might think. And some video editing products like Handbrake already uses the spare memory bandwidth, which nets 25-30% performance boost.

Sure?

storage

I personally would go for 2TB TLC Nvme+4TB TLC SATA instead. 1TB isn't enough for more than like 2 4K projects at a time, and the QLC doesn't really like getting back to back writes because that thing wears out so much faster than TLC. And for warm storage, SATA 3 is still a plenty.

Not big with recommending used unless the budget is tight but glad you are comfy with it. Check 3080Ti at this range.

Used 3090 would be better

 

And i am confused cause is this a gpu centric build or a cpu centric build? Went full gpu on mine with the intent of 12600k can be resold for 150$ ish and upgraded to a 14600/14700(k) down the road

Used 3090 or new 4070, paired with a 12 or 13gen i7. Everything else looks good, including that case.
