Budget video editing build

Or £1200 for an entirely new build, though looking at prices for high end gpu's that would take a big chunk of the funds.

Factoring in savings (black Friday, etc) from other site, what could this get me for a new build?

I'd usually suggest an AM5 build, but since it is productivity-oriented I went with the 12700K instead:

I currently have a small NVMe m.2 drive for windows and a 1tb SSD for storage, so was thinking of similar, maybe upping capacity a bit or adding another SSD in the future, but also adding a much larger hdd for storage only, hence needing a bigger case.

So i'd use the SSD for working from in resolve and the hdd for backing up older files and storage.

Or is there another avenue to venture down now :)

Great, sounds like a good idea.

If you want to make use of mezzanine workflows (proxy workflows) then that 1tb won’t go far, but is a good start. I’m a big fan of Windows Storage Spaces for working drives, which you could use to add another drive to the 1tb in the future.

That's amazing, thanks Tetras, this gives me a good place to start.

Just for comparison, what would an AMD build look like?

How does the 4070 SUPER compare to the 3090?

I noticed this spec uses DDR4 memory, how much performance increase would a DDR5 spec have, and would it push the budget way over?

Looks like I need to research a few more things :D
