Advice for Video Editing PC Build- UK BASED

[porgie07]

Hey,

I'm looking to build a PC for the first time, I've mainly turned to macs before but like the custom build idea now and I'm much more used to windows now in my job.

I've done a ton of research and kind of know about it alittle, but would like suggestions to parts/ if my currently part list sounds okay? I've been using PC part picker so far.

I'm looking to build mainly for video editing as work in tv & film post production in tech. I'd likely be running resolve mainly as just use avid on my work computer, this is more for personal projects. I know resolve loves to use GPU to optimise the render and Processing speeds.

Kind of specs I'm looking for:

• 10-16 core processor
• 12-16gb ram with a fast enough Mhz
• minimum 1tb of storage (I have a lot of external Hdd & SSD's too)
• Not sure if 32gb of ram would seem about right?
• motherboard thats not crazy big, a good price and fits my above specs. 2-4x 3.0/3.2 usb ports for my drives, a usb is ideal but not essential.
• Not as much sure on CPU coolers? I've read up on fan vs liquid and it seems like liquid for AMD more and fan for intel? Just not crazy expensive and good enough to keep it cool for rending
• Case- ideally I'd like fairly smaller but still decent airflow, the ports the same sort of consideration as the motherboard mentions.
• Not fussed on PSU, jusyt efficient enough and first tiem build friendly.

Requirements of those specs:

• Around £1250 max but willing be go up to £1500 tops
• I dont want crazy loud Dbs from the build as can sometimes struggle with noises from my autism
• speed quality on a budget>over case size though
• Not a crazy fiddly build as it'll be my first one, but I learn tech very easily and have always built things, taken apart things and used tools.

Heres a couple of my first 2 different drafts of trying to learn:

Draft A:

Draft B:

I'm super open, love learning and just appreciate any help/ feedback good or bad

Hey,

Thanks both for getting back to me. Yeah it's not needed crazy urgently as I can get by for now. I'm obviously new to this but would the new releases make that major of a difference for my build?

Tetras' -AMD/AMD/ATX build looks really good, in terms of upping the ram, what one would either of you suggest thats 32-64gb? I mean if I'm being honestly with it being my job anyway I'm very knowledge about reducing the strain on the gpu and cpu in terms of resolution, fps, render etc, its just the online stages where colour grading and vfx comes in that that extra will really show.
