BEST-BANG-For-BUCK Creator PC for Video/Photo/3D | '$2000 Budget Workstation for productivity'

[@byteme0000]

It’s great to see a discussion about a PC build that has nothing to do with gaming. Too many of these YT personalities think that the only thing people do with their computers is waste time playing games. Now, if we can just find some classy, elegant, professional cases and dispense with the RGB rainbow barf.

[@emmanuelsilagan]

My thoughts as well! 🤙🏼

[@skahg4771]

Same. I used to be a die hard gamer. Was a manager of multiple different GameStop’s over the course of 6 years in the past. Gaming was in my blood, my identity. I still have shelves of (mostly free) statues and collectibles while working at GameStop. But I also bought tons of collectors editions of games I liked. I was a gamer in all the ways that mattered. But I’ve had the heart breaking epiphany that all of them, without exception, are skinner boxes and the only worthwhile way to spend time using PCs is by creating something useful, valueable or entertaining with them. Gaming is cool and stuff in its place, and I’m not knocking it completely. But to always focus on gaming sets a bad stereotype that PC enthusiasts are just gamers that don’t make anything worthwhile (bc face it, if you are gaming, you are not creating 99% of the time) creating is what matters in the end, we should focus on that. Gaming is like a super side point that barely matters at all in the grand scheme of things. All my opinion of course and no one asked for it. Just thinking it all through through commenting.

[@byteme0000]

@@skahg4771 Great comments! As it happens, my son worked at The Stop (as they called it) for a year and a half in high school and all through his college years. He’s still a big gamer, but he’s not a crazy hardware enthusiast like most of us in these comments. (When he needs an upgrade, he comes to me to discuss it, gives me the money, and I buy/build for him. 🙄) He just likes to chill and enjoy his games for a bit at night after a long day of work. Like you, I too don’t dismiss games and have played my share over the decades. But I think that the big YT hardware channels do us a disservice by constantly focusing on games and blingy cases. There’s so much more to the world of computing than that.

[@Kizzster]

Any PC with a decent GPU is automatically gaming capable, People still use 7 year old parts for gaming and work

[@neoperol]

For that type of cased you need to go SFF/ITX, Formd T1 or Ghost S1 are great example of class, elegant and professional cases.

bang for buck ? we want MOAR !! j/k - thanks for pulling this together for those of us on a frugal budget

[@3DGvisuals]

The whole subject usually terrifies me so I end up bottling it and buying a prebuilt PC, but your videos are educating me ... maybe I might take the plunge and build my next PC because of you! 😁

[@dxrrk]

it's honestly much easier than you think, it looks scary but it's not. it is literally just lego but expensive 😂 i built the current pc i am using now at around 11, and have upgraded it a lot over 4 years. the scariest one for me was the cpu but it really isn't that bad. everything just fits together nicely, making it simple and you'll be up and running within maybe an hour.

[@3DGvisuals]

@@dxrrk my main concern is the compatibility of the various components with each other, one simple example being how different RAM have different notches

[@MrBdouche]

@@3DGvisuals You can just follow this video and you should be fine. Also, pcpartpicker can help you with that as well.

[@brainfreeze1925]

I took the plunge 20 years ago and haven't looked back. It's certainly easier to buy a system but particularly for higher end rigs, you can get a lot more bang for you buck with a self build. The more you make the easier it becomes...I just have to relearn many things when its time to build a new setup hence me watching this video.

[@3DGvisuals]

@@brainfreeze1925 how do you know what components are compatible with each other?

[@michaelhayward6097]

Just want to say thank you for your awesome and very balanced insights and advice - I refreshed my 10 year old PC for around £500 and it rocks. I use my PC mainly for Photo editing but also little Video editing for my personal use. Keep up the good work

Again this is an insane video. Sir wow i own a 12600k. I got this at 265 dollars or ₹25k Inr. Can't wait for rtx 4070 for my PC. 4070 will going to get new 4nm process and new nvenc encoders and decoders. 4070 will be faster than 3090 at 160 watt less power consumption. I am super super excited for next gen parts.

[@mexluisin]

Thank you very much, I'm a fan from México and would try to get this absolute amazing build with my savings!

[@beggarman23]

Thanks for another info-laden vid - how about a similar one directed at music production? I know you've referenced music creators here but I would welcome your insight into assembling a sub-£1000 music pc. Keep up the great vids.

[@SinanTrance]

If you're using music production software like Ableton, FLStudio or Logic, you're not requiring any intense graphics outputs. Therefore you should be specifically focusing on the motherboard, RAM and CPU. The higher your specs, the further it's going to all take you. And you can throw in an RTX3050/3060 if you're very occasionally going to be gaming or making video/graphical content. Probably look at the i5-12600 with 64GB RAM and a motherboard that supports TB4 is your best bet. If you can afford an i7-12700 or i9-12900 you'd go with those as music production software is typically CPU heavy.

[@LiaraJane]

[@jeremymoon9088]

The cl18 is faster? On those, yes; and the reason rests with the other timings on those kits. A 16-22-22- kit won't do any better than 18-22-22- because the timings r loose. cas latency alone is a poor indicator of speed with timings like that.

Cud u help me to give me some suggestions if I am wrong or correct me about the specifications i want for Photoshop, video editing( adobe premiere, davinci,..) and some high action gaming to play such as COD series, military action games...but i am much worried about not to get so heat, not overclocking, just want to have non-k series, so that don't get watts high for electricity bill high, or not to get so heat due to this k series( no AC room in my home in my country south india). So, is it good to have non-k series such as 12600, 12700, 13700 with 3060 or 3060Ti with z690 for get extra SATA ports or to get B660 is enough for my purpose? Plzz tell ur suggestions what i said so far?

Just wondering, what software do you use to produce your KZbin videos?

[@HDRPC]

Sir i have seen jarrods tech and hardware unboxed videos of 12700h and 12900h videos. Those CPU are on 10nm and still has same performance per watt compared to Apple m1 max 10 core CPU. 35 to 40 watt so same or better performance on Intel 12 gen. Intel is still on 10nm and equal or faster compared to Apple arm 5nm which is just insane. 13 gen still on 10nm plus and again 60% gain in performance in compression and decompression. 25% better video editing, overall upto 40% faster than 12 gen. 10nm is beating 7nm of amd and 5nm of Apple arm.

[@pinkfiffty3094]

Hey not sure if It was this video or the other one I watched earlier but it was mentioned that the benefits of having a cpu with built in graphics are very beneficial when doing video editing is this true with ryzen as well or only with intel? I know I have been looking at building a system possibly with a ryzen 5600g since I was gonna start with no gpu and add one later but I recently was able to pickup a used gpu and I remember reading that the 5600 is slightly faster than the 5600g and uses a little less ram so would it be ideal to stick with an cpu with integrates graphics even with ryzen or spring for the slightly better cpu that doesn't have integrated graphics? Thanks

[@pinkfiffty3094]

Oh 2nd question is there any really big reasons to go intel for the cpu over amd? I know for a few years I have researching and watching videos but noticed a few of yours and matt whoismatt budget 4k editing pc videos and using those as a guide but his most recent videos in 2022 he switched to intel for slightly better price to performance (which may or may not be the case in a few months) anyways I know the gpus going with Nvidia is better for video editing so I was able to pick up a used gtx 1070 for a good price instead of going with my original plan of rx570 or rx580. Just trying to be thorough with my research don't wanna get something n find out for slightly more or the same I could be investing in something that's gonna give me a whole lot less in performance like the case of the gpus.
