Here are the parts you really need to build a video editing PC. When it comes to your processor, get a processor that’s multi-core –the more the better. Previously Intel was your only real choice, now with AMD Ryzen you can get much higher performance on a smaller budget. If you’re looking at all the CPU options and you’re trying to decide between one that overclocks and one that doesn’t…just get the one that doesn’t. There are some benefits to the extra power overclocking provides, but more often than not, you’ll never use the actual benefits an unlocked CPU gives you. For your motherboard just make sure it’s matched to your CPU, has enough ports for expandability, and check user reviews to make sure there are not any common issues among other users. For memory you can start with 16 gigs of RAM if editing video is more passion than profession. If you’re doing more professional work, like editing 4K footage, you should go with 32 gigabytes or more to make sure you have the horsepower to edit those larger files. And if you are thinking about future proofing, go with a DDR4 system. DDR4 is going to be around longer than DDR3 and in a few years DDR3 is likely going to be more expensive to upgrade. You will need a video cards. You can still get something that works well on a budget…as little as $200 if you’re looking for the ultimate bang for your buck card. There’s no need to get a professional workstation video card when most of the standard gaming graphics cards will do. If you have a few extra bucks in the budget and you’re trying to decide between a CPU with more cores or slightly better graphics card, go for the CPU. The extra cores will help you out in the long run. For storage or disc drives you may think that just getting a bigger hard drive is your only choice when it comes to a video editing rig, it’s not. SSDs will save you so much time when you’re doing anything with a PC. Your best bet is to use a SSD as a boot drive to run Windows and all your applications. Beyond that, you’ll want a larger second hard drive to store all your work files. For a basic editing PC, 450 watts power supply is where you want to start. It’s best to get a power supply that’s at least gold-rated to make sure you’re not just wasting electricity. For the case make sure the case can fit your motherboard and all your components. You can get ones with glass panels, sound dampening, cable management and all sorts of other cool features. So what’s in your editing rig? Any parts you’re thinking about updating?
