Hi all.

 

I'm in the process of building a new computer and i need help with what components suite me best. Mostly the computer will be used for video editing, 3d modelling and some gaming. I already have the monitors keyboard and mouse. So i need help with the internals, vid card, mobo, ram, cpu, psu and hard drives. :) 

My budget is 1200-1800 dollars. 

 

Appreciate all the help you can give me :)

Pretty good suggestion, but with that budget why not go for a GTX 1070 preferably one from Zotac?

 

Forgot to add: Depends on the resolution of the monitor though. If you own a 1080p 60Hz monitor then you won't get any use out of a 1070. If its 1440p or a higher refresh rate such as 144Hz then it might be a good investment to go for the next tier.

The GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! Extreme. It looks a lot cooler the heatsink is very good and quiet. You have to watch out though. I am not sure if the card will fit in the suggested case because it is very large.

Will i need a card like that for 1440p tho if its only for editing? I can understand for gaming but thats not really a priority.

You won't need a fast gpu for editing, you mainly want cpu power.

No. For CPU bound tasks any GPU will be fine. As for running 1440p on desktop or in these applications, I don't think it will affect you at all.  I just thought you might want the best experience with your budget.
