New Video Editing ITX Build! (Planning)

[CartertheCOCguy]

My budget is around 1000$ and I only play games casually (might change with the new pc though   ). And I want to get into making Youtube videos with GoPro, DJI Phantom 3, and DSLR Footage. I need a machine that can edit 4k footage with ease. Here is my current idea. Let me know your thoughts.. Thanks LTT Forum!

Everything is good except for the PSU. Grab an XFX or SeaSonic one in place of it.

What software will you be using to actually edit?

YES. I have one in my second rig, and while it seems to be a pretty good unit, it just has an insanely loud fan. Like, louder than the GTX 480 in the rig.

Thanks for the reply! Will def look into it

that's pretty banging although i'd get a motherboard with a M.2 slot and SSD as that'll take up less space and less cables.

Just making sure that if you try to do a Hackintosh, research the hell out of your parts (if you haven't already).

 

And I just checked for OpenCL/CUDA comparisons in Premiere, and a 970 should do quite splendidly.

True! although so many mobo's are sold out due to Christmas    I will keep my eye out for a affordable Gigabyte or Asus with m.2

It is kinda complicated. I tried it on my rig, but no luck. Then again, I was using OS X 10.8.
