Another Video editing build, but which CPU and Mobo (mATX)

[Petrolhead]

I have been asked to build a good spec PC for a friend of mine who is a photographer and videographer.

He used Premier Pro CC, After Effects and Photoshop

Spec so far:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080TI 11264MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card= £799.99
• 1 x Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Micro-ATX Glass Case - Black= £119.99
• 1 x Corsair RMx 750w 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply (CP-9020179-UK)= £124.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit - Black (CMK32GX4M4C30= £289.99
• 2 x Samsung 970 EVO Polaris 250GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £74.99
• 1 x Samsung 2TB 860 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 64 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-76E2T0B/EU)= £299.99

Total: £1,798.13 (includes shipping: £13.20)
​

The two m.2 drives are for OS and scratch/Media disks and the SSD for the work

The budget is about £2.5K however just cant decide to go AMD or Intel.

Threadripper 1950x and mobo (God they are expensive) or Intel i9-9900k and mobo

Any suggestions re processor, mobo and cooling (I know someone here will say air cooling )

Re the i7 9700 vs i7 8700 vs i9 9900.

Is it a case that when overclocked they perform the same because looking at stock the i9 9900 seem to score better

 

[Petrolhead]

So are you saying the 9900 is the preferred choice or the 8700

What about Threadripper

Edit: this is an interesting article https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/a...2018-Core-i7-9700K-i9-9900K-Performance-1254/

 

[Petrolhead]

ah yeah, sorry for not being clear, the 9900k is better than the others, but not a whole lot better for the extra £120 odd quid it costs so like 10% more performance for 35% more cost

Just checked overclockers web site. The difference in price is actually £70

 

[Petrolhead]

The one thing that concerns me about the i9-9900k is a lot of reports about high heat when overclocked, however I think this is when trying to get it to 5ghz

 

[Petrolhead]

Prempro can make use of both Intel and AMD

[german accent on] I am asking zee questions!

I obviously want best bang for buck hence why I am asking

 

[Petrolhead]

Why are you speccing a high-end gaming GPU?

[german accent on] I am asking zee questions!

No reason just it does perform better with prempro than an AMD offering

[Petrolhead]

Can we keep this on track please ie CPUs

It seems that so far people have mentioned Intel and not AMD which is interesting

 

[Petrolhead]

Cinebench R15 Single Threaded
Score (Higher is Better)
amd 164
intel 216
Cinebench R15 Multi-Threaded
Score (Higher is Better)
amd 3017
intel 2032

Handbrake 1.1.0 - 1080p60 x264 3500 kbps Faster
Frames Per Second (Higher is Better)
amd 259
intel 229
Handbrake 1.1.0 - 1080p60 HEVC 3500 kbps Fast
Frames Per Second (Higher is Better)
amd 215
intel 226

This is interesting - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Multi Core Performance

Suggesting that once you get to 8 core its dimminishing returns.

Then there is cost, based on todays prices from Overclockers:

Intel: i9-9900k = £500, motherboard £160. Total=£660
AMD: TR 1950x = £560, motherboard £300. Total=£860 and from what I can see no mATX boards

 

[Petrolhead]

So, if I went with the i9-9900k which matx mobo should I go for. I will be overclocking

 

[Petrolhead]

Still deliberating. However I stumbles across yet another YouTube video that looks at Premier Pro cc and the new feature that allows the use of the onboard GPU.

Would this mean further performance increase with the 9900k?

 

[Petrolhead]

However if a suitable motherboard can be set to use both a dedicated gpu and internal gpu then premier pro will use both

My client wants AIO so have started a new thread https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/best-240mm-aio.18839285/
