Upgrade options for video editing

[Jonywony]

Hello everyone,

I want to start editing a few videos I have recorded through Shadowplay and editing with DaVinci Resolve. However, every time load up a file to edit, my computer just runs SUPER SLOW!

I want to what upgrades I should buy to edit videos effectively.

PC SPECS

GTX 970 WINDFORCE 4GB

8GB RAM

What's the HDD and/or SSD you have? The simplest solution would be to get 16gb of ram. If your $500 budget + sold parts could take the hit then you should move to an i7 6700k with a z170 mobo. I understand that's very pricey, but there are fantastic black friday deals coming up. Newegg has an i7 6700k for $300 next Tuesday. Micro Center also has nice in store deals, if you live close to one.

8320 to 8350 is like 6400 to 6500. Not worth at all

we don't compare processors with speed. and that cpu is kinda picky on mobos

I reckon the slowness is your computer. 8320 should not be that slow. Check CPU usage or maybe get an SSD instead

Ahh, yea that's a problem. I love Australia though  And the ram upgrade would do a lot for you. Install you're DaVinchi Resolve on the SSD if you can, or haven't already. This should make it perform a little faster.
