BUILD MY FIRST PC!

[Mac_nfs87]

Hey Guys, 

 

I'm gonna build my first Windows PC.  After many years with Mac. Now I  am switching for Good!  

first of all,  I am Photographer & Video Editor -- > looking forward for Editing PC / Games

 

Alright, I don't want go overkill with the systems,  All I aim for is Strong Processor (Ryzen 7) + Big ass Ram (Full ram 32GB) + Appropriate Graphic Card (GTX 1050ti <---- in my mind) 

 

Please suggest the Good Recipe please......  

 

 

Regards,

 

MJ <----------

Ryzen? I suggest Intel Especially for editing and i think GTX 1050 Ti is too low

[Mac_nfs87]

@kimikomon

Alright explain more detail please.  Because So far I got the strongest opinion on current set up

[GoldenLag]

What is your budget?

What editing software do you use?

Do you need peripherals? (Monitor, keyboard etc)

Do you want OS to be included in the price?

Ignore what i said

I'm a real nutcase

[YaBoiWill]

see the build that Maxxine did, used an i-5 8400 and z370i board, and either 16 or 32 gb ram depending on budget.

Everything here just isnt great value.

 

@Mac_nfs87 ill give recommendation. Just answrr my questions above an i will provide a good value build

[GoldenLag]

Build suggestions are entirely based on your budget

[Jon Jon]

I am happy to see that you are focusing on 32GB minimum for an editing build.

 

The CPU recommendation is predominately on what software you plan to be using, so that detail is critical here.

 

How complex are the projects and how much storage do you think you'll need? Do not skimp out on storage.

 

 

[GoldenLag]

@Mac_nfs87 i hope you ignore any of the builds above. They arent personolized for you, your budget and your workload. Something that is very important to achieve the best experience and build possible.

Storage I can use around 256/512 SSD / M2   

 

ok.  i got GTX 1050Ti. ....   having full ram and power processor does this compliment the system nicely ?  meaning i do not have to spend too much on the graphic card

The 1050ti isnt a great gaming nor productivity GPU.

 

Again. What kind of PC you get is based on your budget. How much money do you have to spend on this PC?

 

What editing software do you use?

No problem. We can allways adjust things. You might end up selling the GPU. Offcourse this is all dependant on the budget.

Nothing. I just need a bit of info an ill recommend a build. The build will cost somewhere from 700-3000$. Though it is all dependant on your budget

are you referring to Graphic Cards

Indeed. That or a GTX 1060 6GB. Whatever is cheaper. They arent the best GPUs in the world, but they are way better than the 1050ti.

 

Also dont look at card branding. Grab the cheapest RX 580 8GB you find or cheapest Gtx 1060 6GB

But lots of complaints on the RX580, Thermal paste issue ?  how bad is bad and for my particular activity (Video Editing) . does this annoying sometimes ?

I condone the whole build, although the OP didn't answer your questions to make it easier. The only thing i would change is the barracuda with a new WD black 4 or 6 TB with 256 cache. Unfortunately this goes a bit off of his budget. Kudos for the build for @Mac_nfs87

WD black 4 or 6 TB with 256 cache.  <--- is it fast ?   

 

sorry noob in the making of PC.    btw RX580 is good or bad ?   what makes different from GTX ?

RX 580 doesnt have any issues i am aware of. Thermals paste shouldnt be an issue. It is on par with the GTX 1060 6GB in gaming, but the GTX 1060 6GB is better for videoediting. 

 

What video editing software do you use? It influences the CPU choice. 

 

And yes. Grab a large HDD if you can. 

 

Something 3-4 TB drive from wstern digital or seagate.

1. Faster, especially in IOPS (so how many actions it can perform per second), but not enough to warrant the premium.

 

2. RX580 is a great card. It's different from a Geforce card because it's made by AMD. Performance is generally better than the GTX1060 6GB which costs about the same.

 

That said, if your software is CUDA accelerated (you still didn't specify, please try to answer @GoldenLag's questions before posting anything ever again) you'll want the 1060 instead.

 

EDIT: Also, your profile says you're in Malaysia, USD pricing in the US isn't representative for you, so there's that....

USD just a rough figure for my purchase.    

 

 

any RX video card is better than 580 ?     or this graphic card is good enough for video editing ?

You're pretty dense I see.

 

WHICH VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE ARE YOU GOING TO USE?

Thx.
