I’m speccing a PC for my brother-in-law, primarily for editing HD quality videos with Adobe Premiere Elements. His current PC is a 5 year old Dell (Pentium dual core 3ghz I think) and it just cannot handle the HD videos.
Budget is about £600. All we really need is the case/MB/Processor/PSU & memory, win7 & maybe a speedy HDD. Everything else I’m hoping to rip out of the old Dell and will upgrade as and when budget allows.
Can anyone offer any advice on the spec required editing – I’ve plucked this out based on this post earlier today:
Does this look OK....and is it worth the extra cash for an overclocked bundle? Should I be considering a dedicated graphics card?
I work in IT (Software Developer) but I have to admit that while I’m confident in building the PC, a lot of the gaming/overclocking stuff is out of my league!
Thanks for any advice.
