Perhaps this?

Bit expensive but I'll try editing this list

nice PSU.......... not a good idea to put that in a high end build

Errmmmm...you know that the grey labeled CXM PSUs are higher than your NEX in quality right?

 

 

These deals are killing me.. the cheap price made me think it was a green label, my apologies

Are you sure? I thought the better performance would be in all video aspects

If he requires Cuda acceleration then it would help but with editing and rendering, having a more powerful CPU is usually more helpful than a more powerful GPU

Welllllll...there were no green labelled CXM 550 or 450 or 650 so...you know, any CXM PSUs that are x50watts then it's one of the good ones

I'm going to say, better GPU means better performance.

What does everyone think of this build?

...can you increase the budget?

Only if he is going to be heavily using GPU acceleration otherwise an i7 over an i5 would have more benefits than a 1070 over a 1060/RX480

1 last thing. how much would you go over 800?

well 1000 is the total budget but i need a monitor aswell

[Boxez408]

WOW thanks for all the support guys! i really loved the help! 

 

I think im going to go with the build mr meerkat suggested and keep the better cpu over gpu since my focus is more towards editing rather than gaming. Thanks for all the support though! now begins the fun part! ordering and putting it together! 

 

(the build im going with minus the ssd)

The sort of specs or configurations here are good enough for 1080p editing, and may be able to handle 4K to a certain degree.  Working with 4K video requires, as a general rule of thumb, four times the resources of 1080p.  I personally would not (on a desktop build) work with less than a quad core, 16GB of memory and several TB of HDD/SSD storage space for 4K editing.  In fact, I'd have separate HDD/SSD setups (one dedicated for OS and Applications, another for project files).  After this, anything else depends on the kind of 4K and editing you are planning to work with.  Are you going to work with low bit rate 4K videos from cameras like a GoPro or high bit rate 4K videos from cinema cameras with huge file sizes, do you want to be able to color grade in wide gamut, high color depth, work with dozens of layers of video and audio tracks?

Sorry i just saw the message yes im going to shoot in raw 4k and have it compressed to 1080. for color grading im using red giant magic bullet

4K RAW, which camera?

 

The kind of configuration you can build for $800-1000 probably will not give you that great of a performance when working with 4K RAW (I assume you mean Cinema DNG RAW or similar).  4K RAW for video is going to be resource hungry,  You will still be able to work with a $800-1000 build, but don't expect stellar performance.

In this build, I'd consider getting at least 32GB memory, keep the SSD for OS and Applications though you may want to get at least 256GB instead of 120. Replace the 1TB WD Blue drives with wither 2-4TB Drives and consider putting them into RAID 0, preferably WD Black. Get a GPU with more VRAM.

 

4K Cinema RAW editing will require a lot of resources.
