£700 PC for DaVinci Resolve

[Bluester99]

Hi

Haven’t built a PC for a couple of years so I'm out of the loop a bit.

Friend has asked me to build them a PC for:

• Using DaVinci Resolve
• Bit of 1440p Gaming
• General home PC use, surfing/Office etc.

They have a budget of around £700

So far I have come up with the following, any help would be appreciated

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D1-AM) = £158.99
  
• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus WIFI II (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6HX-AS) = £105.99
  
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18) (SKU: MY-4CL-CS) = £62.99
  
• 1 x be quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: HS-01J-BQ) = £34.99
  
• 1 x Corsair RMx Series RM750x 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (CP-9020199-UK) (SKU: CA-266-CS) = £99.95
  
• 1 x Kingston FURY Renegade 1TB PCI-e 4.0 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SFYRS/1000G) (SKU: STO-KNG-01329) = £89.99
  
• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 WindForce OC LHR 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1FH-GI) = £259.99

I included an Intel alternative, slightly under budget. Your basket appears to be over by more than £100?

If you don't want a b-grade case, there's a P400S for £15 more.

CPU cooler is in the CPU box.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Intel Core i5-12400F 2.50GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-6AR-IN) = £98.98
• 1 x Asus Prime B760M-A WIFI D4 (LGA 1700) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6KG-AS) = £106.00
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (SKU: MY-0AJ-TG) = £55.99
• 1 x MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X OC 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-374-MS) = £248.99
• 1 x WD Black SN770 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T3X0E) (SKU: HD-58F-WD) = £59.99
• 1 x B Grade Phanteks Eclipse P400 Air Midi Tower Case - Black (SKU: BG-06C-PT) = £39.91
• 1 x Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-02517) = £84.95

Total: £694.81 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

be quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: HS-01J-BQ) = £34.99

Freezer 36 is £23 at OCUK and AM4 compatible.

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D1-AM) = £158.99
1 x be quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: HS-01J-BQ) = £34.99

I'd be reluctant to pay that for this CPU, because you could get the AM5 7600 for the same money and it comes with a cooler in the box.

Resolve is very GPU dependent so I'd sacrifice the cpu for a better gpu imo

Thank you both very much!
