Video Editing upgrade advice please

Jody · 30 Aug 2023 at 10:34

I have an old pc bought and built from here years ago which will not cope with editing or processing my new drone footage at all.

I need help with spec advice for the following uses if you would be so kind.

Editing 4k drone footage
General browsing
office work, spreadsheets etc

I would like your opinions on which of the following to buy for low end spec (will cope) and medium decent spec, don't wanna spend silly money really:

Motherboard
CPU
Cooler
Ram
Power supply
GPU

Willing to spend upto £1k if needed

Appreciated

If you don't have MM access - the rules got updated recently - message the Dons and they might show mercy.

Think I would go Intel and use quick sync at first and then add a GPU like a Nvidia 3050 or 3060 if you want faster GPU rendering.

Case pick an atx with 160mm cooler clearance and there are slightly cheaper alternatives to some parts .

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Corsair Force MP600 CORE XT 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Solid State Drive (CSSD-F1000GBMP600CXT) (SKU: HD-06U-CS) = £48.95
1 x MSI MAG A750GL 750W 80 Plus Gold ATX 3.0 PCIE5 Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-013-MS) = £99.95
1 x Intel Core i5-12600K 3.70GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-69X-IN) = £239.98
1 x Asus TUF Gaming B660-Plus WIFI D4 - Intel B660 DDR4 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6HN-AS) = £137.00
1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C18 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMK32GX4M2D3600C18) (SKU: MY-4D1-CS) = £79.99
1 x Kolink Umbra EX180 Black Edition CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: HS-001-KK) = £27.95

Total: £641.81 (includes delivery: £7.99)

5700G
A520 motherboard
16-32Gb of DDR4 3600
Highest capacity lowest priced gen 3 NVME drive you can find.
Largest/best priced HDD you can find
Decent quality PSU. Seasonic SS or Super flower 3-400 watt maybe
Case with at least a 120mm fan front and rear.

Very fast and dirt cheap.

Not really, unless you want to go pretty high end graphics. The 5700G has a decent onboard GPU.

Intel's version of dedicated video encoding and decoding hardware core. Rather than using a general GPU, this core is located on the processor die and is dedicated just for video processing.

It's quick for an intergrated solution.

Google it for further info.
