Hi.

I have £2000 - £2.5k to play with.

Looking to buy pre built pc only for editing 4k videos for You Tube.

I don't do much in the way of gaming and if i do it's oldskool games such as Age of Mythology.

So am looking for something powerful for editing and processing pls.

Not sure if this is the right forum. Please move if it's not.

Which software do you use for editing and such?

It will probably be Cyberlink Power Director.

I had a look on their forums and on YouTube and I can't find any benchmarks and not much information on CPU and GPU usage.

GPU: It looks like it will use NVENC or the AMD equivalent and from what I gather relative GPU power is otherwise unimportant?

Core usage (number of cores): I can't find anything.

Importance of single-thread performance: I can't find anything.

Memory: there are comments that with 32GB, most of it is unused, which seems odd.

Ordinarily I'd suggest something like an i7-12700 or 5900X for your budget and usage, but I have no idea if you'd actually benefit from this hardware :confused:
