4K 60FPS Video Editing

[Jordan Lee]

My friend wants to have a 4K 60FPS video editing computer. He has a enough money to buy hi-end parts. So I set spec like this.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

MB: ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI Extreme

RAM: G.SKILL DDR4 32G PC4-21300 CL18 TRIDENT Z RGB (8Gx4)

GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX1080 Ti O11G GAMING D5X 11GB

SSD: Samsung 970 PRO M.2 2280 (250GB)(I choose 250GB, because he is gonna save footage at NAS)

Is it good? Or wait until 32 core Threadripper release?

Is it good? Or wait until 32 core Threadripper release? Yes you should wait until the 32 core threadripper releases and it would help a lot

If he feels like he needs the 32 cores, sure.

If your friend earns a living with the machine then a Threadripper or I9 system might be more appropriate. Otherwise, a 2700X is a decent choice. I would suggest faster memory and much more fast storage. There needs to be enough local ssd storage for current projects, scratch, and of course system and programs.
