Video editing / Streaming rig

[simonthekirby]

Planning a new build to replace my aging PC. I will mostly be using this for Video editing with a bit of gaming and streaming. I also multitask a lot. What do you all think of this part list?

I would probably upgrade that card. If you are going to be working with raw footage it might be a bit intensive when scrubbing and rendering may take a while. Certainly capable card. Just might lag a bit behind if you are doing anything intensive. You should keep an eye out for price drops now the new gen cards are out and again if you are working with raw footage and backing everything up locally you might want a bigger hard drive.

yeah the RX480 is way better than gtx 960, and cheaper

You cant buy it just yet but if you wait a bit you should be able to get it soon. But if you really want your pc now... For about $100 more you can pick up a 970 which has quite a large performance increase over the 960

Waiting wont be a problem for me since I still gotta save up for this build so I think the RX480 will be my choice
