Video Editing PC

CivilDrone · 3 Apr 2018 at 09:02

Morning
Toying with an idea of starting a blog/channel with all sorts
Never looked into the video editing side of things before
Don't really need a monster machine but don't want to wait for hours on end for a 10 minute vid to convert
Is there anyone that could suggest specs for such pc?
Thinking of:
i7 (1151)
16gb ram
240+ ssd
Psu, Mobo etc isn't really crucial to the build as long as its branded
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Havent used AMD for a while but why not

How about a GPU, whats the best budget driven card?

Purely video editing. Complete newb at it so just the basics
Havent looked at the editing software yet just getting the rig together
Screen is 1080p
Always thought that video card contributes a lot towards editing

For some odd reason always thought that the better the GPU the faster video editing is
Need to re-think whole of the strategy
Thanks for the info!

Just an update
I went with:
NZXT s340 Elite
Asus X370 Prime-Pro
AMD Ryzen 1700x
Geil 16GB 3000hz DDR4
Samsung Evo 850 500GB
Corsair H115i AIO
SeaSonic Focus 650FX Gold

Tested with RX580 in Xfire running like a dream
Thinking of getting either 1030 or 1050 as GPU, not planning to stream live just rendering
Will give it a go as soon as have a bit more time
How is it looking so far?

In regards to the software, I didn't get that far yet. I heard there are some free ones floating around just to get the taste of things to come
