Budget (including currency): IDR 3.000.000,00 / 200 USD to IDR 3.500.000,00 / 255USD

Country: Indonesia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): will be buying every part used.

 

hi, i need help for my tight budget PC for video rendering. This pc meant to be a gift for my brother since he loves to playing around with video editing.

The plan is i will use :

CPU : i7 4790 (40USD)

ram : 16Gb DDR3 (16USD)

Motherboard : Asrock H81 ITX (40USD)

Storage : 256Gb SATA SSD & 1TB HDD (28USD)

PSU : MSI MAG A550BN (40USD)

Case : MSI Nightblade (35USD)

 

also i have been thinking with the GPU. I have 4 choices. Should i get RX 580(50USD), GTX 950(55USD), GTX 1050ti (88USD), or P106(38USD)

 

P106 is a mining GPU, had 6Gb of VRAM, but installing the driver is pain in the ass. Since the price of P106 are insanely low for 6Gb of vram. I think its worth the effort. But i don’t know if its work for rendering video or not.

 

Or should i just ditch the GPU and go for newer generation CPU with integrated CPU?

do you know anything about the rendering software they use and what hardware is being leveraged during the render

i already mentioned the software that it will be used, and also as far as i can tell it will be GPU demanding during the render, CPU are mostly doing the job when we working on the previews and slightly used when render. RAM will be responsible for storing data for the programs that's running.

well honestly i'd say even with the limited budget i'd try to get a newer platform then this even if it means going with a used prebuilt. The board you selected is 10 years old and still on ddr3. i'd at least try and find something with ddr4 so it can last you a while.

as for gpu at least a 10 series would be good for driver support. again the 9 series is about a decade old now.

and yes , it would be a good idea to go for a newer cpu with integrated gpu so you're at least on an upgradable platform

Thanks for the advice, sorry for slow response.
and anyway, do iGpu now have a great rendering capabilities with 16gb of RAM? and what should i get with the motherboard for certain CPU? should i just get a cheap motherboard? is it impacting the CPU?

Go with rx 580.

yea i consider that too but what i like from NVIDIA is having NVENC for rendering than AMD VCE. which is better for rendering performance..
