As in the title I have a friend who is looking to do some video editing please could you suggest a system which would be suitable. Secondhand is also some he would be interested in.

Thanks.:)
 
How much of a beginner? - any idea what software they will be using and if it benefits from GPU acceleration?

Total beginner

The plan is to start small but eventually he plans to do quite a bit of editing.

Is there any video editing software you can recommend please.
 
Thanks for the replies.:)

The Ryzen 7 2700X Gold Edition is on offer at some places for less than a Ryzen 5 3600. For a video editing rig it is fantastic value.

If my friend were to go for a 2700X based system what sort of specs and parts would he be looking at.
