4K Video editing pc 1200 euro

My grandma (yes my grandma) is a semi-professional video editor. She is planning on buying a new PC for this purpose and asked me for help. She wanted the newest hardware available, for future-proofing. This is the build i came up with

I would go for a i7 6700 (No K)

save some money and go for a cheap h110 board

I dont understand why she needs a gtx 980 though, lmao

get a 960 instead

#1) The PSU is not very good. Change it to an XFX, Silverstone, Cooler Master or EVGA one.

 

#2) Wait for some Pascal benchmarks. They should give a perspective of how much better is it from a 980Ti.

 

BTW Your grandma must be cool when she's doing video editing (in modern software). Like most grandmas are being taught how to use Office lol

What's wrong with the PSU chosen?

CX and CS power supplies are known to fail quite often.

But if a grandma needs something to use in video editing that is futureproof, well, she would rather use a 10xx GPU.

Rendering, specifically Adobe Premier cc

Yeah i was already planing on adding it in as soon as it launches. And on the PSU could you give a good suggestion?

oh, no wonder your trying to sneak in a 980

[Trey222]

I would suggest going with LGA 2011 CPU more cores will  make rendering a lot faster. The I7 5820K is a good six core. Also you could go with an older Xeon E5 2670 it is about 3 years old now but it has 8 cores and goes for about 70ish on Ebay and will beat even a 6700k in rendering.

No clue how much storage she'll need. But if she's doing 4k I'm going to assume a lot more than 500GBs.

She is willing to make a few compromises in performance for the newest hardware around. I could look into Skylake xeon's but I don't really know what to look for.

But what High-end GPU will you recommend for 4k video editing than?

New=/=Better in any use case scenario.

A 970 or 390 would do fine for the video editing, and will have more than enough power for when you wanna play games when she's not using her computer.

But will she be able to scroll trough 4K footage without any noticeable lagg?;

Build is good but use a better power supply. The CX750/M will turn itself off under load if it get any hot at all.

 

Use this one. http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/267399/xfx-ts-650w-80+-bronze.html

 

Also the Deepcool Gammaxx 400 is cheaper than the CM Hyper 212 EVO and outperforms it (it trades blows with stuff like the NH-U12S).

I believe so? Video editing and ect. isn't more strong suit.

Do you video edit yourself? If not i can't really take your advice.
