Editing PC for media student?

[xunya]

Hey guys! I need help planning a PC. I will use it to edit and produce short films and pictures the next 3 years, and hopefully after as well.

This is what I've come up with so far, but I have no idea what I'm doing! Will these parts even work together?

That's pretty much perfect

I would get a different brand of RAM like G.skill or Corsair. Just personal preference

For "short films and photos" you won't need a 144hz monitor. I'd say drop to either 1080/1440p 60hz and maybe something like 3/4 TB HDD unless it's a big sale.

I don't see a reason that it will not work. Maybe an AIO water cooler but an air will just be fine

 

Never knew they had pink case

Yeah mickcoffee slowed my pc down a lot, came with my PC, uninstalled, worked like a charm.

qnix qx2710 is a good cheap 1440p plus you can OC the monitor if you want. But at this point I would go with a ultrawide if you are doing video editing and stuff. 

 

EDIT: I linked to a LG Electronics 34UM57 34" IPS WFHD Ultrawide Monitor for an example

Whats Black and White and has performance all over

You can setup the 2 4TB in a raid 1 for redundancy as loosing files at this stage would be catastrophic

 

plus this is ITX so finding space will be easier

Maybe throw in another ssd for a scratch and working drive.

Good build. Just one thing rather go with internet security then a anti virus and I would recommend to stay away for McAfee and Norton there are lodes off good internet security packages out there.
