[kilsnacks]

Hey there! I am a YouTuber and in the June I plan on upgrading this rig http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pMTNCJ to an Intel motherboard and CPU what ever will be best possible for video rendering and editing! my budget is $1,000 for just the CPU ( budget for non CPU gear is another $1,000 ) Thanks for any help a head of time!

Xeon  or a 5960X

[UnbounDxKilleR]

With your budget try Xeon or 6-8 core intel CPUs

[ThatOneRussian]

Also youre going to want to get a new board. To go with the 5960X or the Xeon's

thats a great WS board

Xeon

Woohoo... Let's all recommend Xeons without even knowing anything about the amount of videos he wants to produce, how long they are and the quality settings.

But let him pay at least a thousand USD even tho he might not even need it. Great idea

well to be fair he can edit on any fucking chip. he has a budget he should use it.

I agree with ThatOneRussian "Xeon  or a 5960X" also a 5820k and 5830k could be used if the budget is sub 2k.

Some videos will be 2 - 3 hours long at 1080p I plan on if possible putting 2 videos out a day or more most will be around 20 - 30 mins 1080p while there will be a few at 2 - 4 hours long at 1080 p still need to make sure 2 videos a day

aha youre going to want a xeon to render all of

edit: or a 5960X

[Senzelian]

If I have a budget of 100.000 USD and I want to buy a practical car, am I going to buy a Porsche?

Yes of course, cause it goes fast... 

 

A budget is a amount of money that you shouldn't exceed. But it doesn't mean that you have to use all of it  :rolleyes:

well a practical car is what 90 + % of people have. Far from that amount of people edit videos.

That doesn't matter.

You have to choose components depending on the customer's needs. Okay, I know, op is not a customer, but you have to take resposibility here. Keep in mind, you're playing with his money. If you tell him he needs a $600 Xeon while he doesn't need it, then you're are the reason why he wasted $300, because he could've gotten a 5820k for example.

 

Just please, be careful.   

Anyways, now we know a lot better what he is actually trying to achieve and what his needs are. Now you can eventually recommend a Xeon if you think it will safe him enough time to justify the extra amount of money.

 

I don't know out of the top of my head which Xeon would fit his scenario best. Maybe you have an idea.

More RAM?

[kilsnacks]

32 gigs would be nice

youre not wrong. but whats the reason linus needs a 36 core rendering machine

[Senzelian]

He got it almost for free...  :rolleyes: 

It's not like he had to spend his hard earned money on it.

I was about to call bullshit. then I realized what intel's worth. well yeah

[DunePilot]

General rule of thumb is 2 gigs of ram per thread. Keep that in mind when you upgrade, also don't rule out an old refurbished workstation with dual xeons, they are out there and within your budget.

 

Edit: Do you game also, do you wish to overclock? In that case I think I would lean towards a 5960X or whatever 8-10 core fits your budget. Getting the 2011 v3 socket you could always go for a cheaper chip and see if it is good enough, if it doesn't suffice and you get more funds then you can sell that chip on fleabay and pitch for the 5960X or one of the 8-10 core Xeons below.

If the Xeon route, I would lean towards this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117479

I can't justify $350 for .2 GHz between it and the $1000 one at least the $1200 has 10 cores though.
