New PC Build Help
January 21st, 2020
This build isn’t actually for me but for a friend. He is wanting a new PC for video editing software such as sony vegas and software such as Photoshop. Other than that the PC will be used for playing videos, storing videos and basic tasks. He wants allot of storage space 2TB+ and a mobo that allows for upgrades if necessary. Based in the UK and wants to spend a maximum of �650. Any ideas for parts? Any help is much appreciated.
Hey Fel….. er baka, you could pretty much base it on your pc, the 8350 is great for those type of tasks, save a bit with a mid size case, skip the H80 cooler and go for an air cooler. You can get 2TB drives on amazon for around �70 (inc delivery with prime), shop around a bit for a suitable GPU (you didn’t mention if he likes gaming or will use it for 3D work).
Yeah that was what I was thinking TBH. Seeing as though he’ll be using it for similar tasks as what I use mine for. I think he’ll be playing the occasional game on it and I was thinking that a cheap graphics card would help him with all his film editing. He’s a indie film director and his GF is a producer so that will be what it is mainly used for.
Thanks for the response
I think he'll be playing the occasional game on it
You’re gonna have to be more specific. I cannot make a build without knowing which
exact games he’ll be playing.
Well I’m not exactly sure. Hes not a mega gamer and will be happy with medium settings on a game like skyrim. I think the gpu has to be more geared towards video editing.
The GPU has little to do with video editing, It depends mainly on the CPU & amount of RAM.
Anyways, I made you this build:
