Video Editing & Gaming Rig

Hi guys, I am UK based and making a video editing PC and high end gaming machine (high as I can afford).

 

I already own a power supply & case for this build. My budget for the rest of the parts is £1300 to £1500. The parts below come to about £1300.

 

Is there any components I should put some more money into? The motherboard is one of the cheapest, not sure if I should get something more pricey. I think AMD Ryzen is a good choice for my workflow but maybe I should get the 1700k and get a cooler? but the 1700 with the stock cooler might do me fine, save some money. The 1080 I've chosen comes with some cashback but I could maybe stretch to a Ti, but would it be worth it? or perhaps get a 1TB SSD over the 500GB?

Also with computex this week do you think the CPU or other components might have prices drops in the next month or is it safe to buy and not worry?

The mass storage drive you picked is cheaper, so you could get that to save some moolah. I put in faster RAM, as Ryzen like 3000+Mhz RAM.And the SSD I picked is a solid drive (I've got one in my MacBook Pro), and it's cheaper than an 850 EVO.

Most of this looks good a couple of considerations from me:

 

Ryzen is an excellent choice for anything other than a pure gaming rig, even then, depending on your camp, resolution and GPU/Monitor it can still be argued against a 7700k due to Ryzens (usually) better minimum FPS.

 

RAM:

 

To really rinse the best out of Ryzen you're gonna need fast ram, buy the fastest you can afford, don't fall into this "Flare X Ryzen ram" bullshit, its a marketing gimmick. I'm running some 3200mhz non Samsung die RGB ram from Gskill that isn't on my boards QVL at 3333mhz, memory support is getting much much better and the recent Agesa 1006 bios's are massively helping. If you aren't aware Ryzen suffers in gaming due to latency across it's infinity fabric (where its basically 2 4c/8t cpus on one die to put it basically) that latency or "data transfer" runs at half the speed of the ram - the faster the DDR4 the lower the latency = more FPS in gaming. Purely going from 2400 to 3200mhz netted me 87 FPS - 95 FPS in Rise of the Tomb Raider and that's at 1440P, 1080P will get even bigger benefits. If I could roll back I would have got some non RGB 3600mhz ram, especially now with the Agesa updates adding upto 4000mhz ram support.

 

GPU:

 

Great GPU, if you're in the UK you would be a fool not to get the Palit 1080 GTX Gamerock Premium, its pretty much the fastest 1080 out of the box and can be had for decent money, I got mine for £569 before the recent price drops due to the 1080ti release.

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Palit/GeForce_GTX_1080_GameRock/16.html

 

I might just be worth checking up on the numbers vs the MSI as the MSI has the new memory, mine oc's to 2100/5500 with no effort anyway.

 

Lastly on GPU's - 1080ti is obviously the boss at this time, but you didn't state what resolution you're aiming at, anything below 1440P and a 1070 is fine. 1440P you want a 1080 preferably 1080ti if you're going high refresh

 

SSD

 

Samsungs are great, however I recommend the Crucial MX300 as the alternative - very little in performance difference but has +25gb

 

Computek 

 

No prices will drop due to the event, prices will only drop in reaction to a product release, not speculation - If you want the PC within the next 6 weeks, just build it now in my opinion as there will be no real big drops in the time, we may get Vega end of June / start of July, new intel stuff is rumoured for September and Zen2 in the new year.

This, except, 8 core+mobo with no VRM heatsinks is BAD BAD idea, ESPECIALLY for overclocking. I would get a different mobo.

Good point. Any other mobos that aren't too expensive that have VRM heatsinks?

I think Pro4 is around that price. Something like the Prime Plus or PC Mate would be ideal but Pro 4 is ok. I think there's also the MSI Gaming Pro around that price range.

I think the OP had picked the Pro4, that's probs why. And the gaming pro isn't that much more. Here it is with the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon (the Pro4 is 30 pounds cheaper though):

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
