Best Creator PC for $2500 | Video & Photo Editing, 3D & Rendering etc...

[@theTechNotice]

FYI GPU prices are dropping massively and since filming the video they're even lower. So highly recommend checking out the latest pricing through the links in the description above :) 😇☝

[@HotBrassandBullets]

Built this. My first pc build ever, thanks. One question I still don't know how to enable the igpu ?

[@theTechNotice]

Go to bios and search for the igpu setting and set it to 'enabled'

[@HotBrassandBullets]

I will try and google what to look for. I enabled xmp and it set my ram speed to 3700mhz which is what I bought. I looked through all the bios settings and did not see anything that said igpu or video. Being a novice I'm sure I missed something just don't know what yet. Anyway you are a really smart guy and i watch all your videos I've learned so much from really nothing that I can't be what I know now. Thanks

[@Z_EOS]

Except for the case and the cooler I am building the exact same version of build what you showing here so it is amazing to see that within 2 months I get it into my head because I didn't know much about how to build a PC and now I am able to pick up everything... you basically teached me the whole lot over the time of the last 2 months how to build it and how to make it worth the money... Not overspending for things I won't need. On Canon R6 now... Getting into video editing. Thanks

[@fasttommys]

About to order this setup. Thankfully I can max out all the options you’ve given and I still will have more computing power than what I am capable of using - at least currently. I’ll be using this to design golf putting courses and also golf putting greens.

[@vogesfilms7069]

You're honestly the best PC building or whatever channel out there. All the channels about PC's constantly relate to gaming and makes us creators feel like a minority when in reality, there are so many creators out there who are looking for the very advice you provide. Truly amazing and truly relevant and important channel. Thank you and I hope to be able to build my first PC this year, just doing lots of research before purchasing anything and still saving while I'm studying.

I am a professional Render guy and I like to have a PC for Specific LUMION/ D5 RENDER. Can you Build something for the Guys that Render Architecture in Lumion/D5 Render? List: Intel CPU 12900 64 Gb DDR5 or 128 GB DDR4, RTX 3090, ATX etc... A PC for at least 3 years

[@rakly3473]

Just an FYI: I have a Liquid Freezer II 280 (2x 140mm) with a 12900K and it can not keep these processors cooled. Even after replacing the fans with NF-A14 fans it is still thermal throttling under heavy workloads in open air setup. Using the smaller standoffs included with the AIO instead of the included ones meant for 12gen CPU's, did drop overall temps by about 10°C

[@bunnybabybevytv6434]

Try putting a regular fan in front of your intake fans and maybe another fan pointing away next to the outtake…otherwise you just gotta lower the temperature of the room…blowing warm air at something doesn’t help much

[@cbarr0288]

$3000 budget is the sweet spot you can get an i9-13900k 64gb ddr5 6000, MSI Pro Z790-A Wi-fi, Samsung Pro 980 w heatsink, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity OC 24GB video card. This is the configuration I just built, can’t wait to see how it renders 3D images I think it’s gonna crank. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Zotac btw.

@@fasttommys just received all components yesterday I got back ordered on a couple parts. Also, am not sure the power supply is enough (Corsair RM750x) I have an 850 on they way also but even that may be cutting it close, more research required.

[@adityadivine9750]

You still didn't made igpu performance on davinci resolve like you did with premire pro and 32 vs 64gb ram difference in exporting and timeline performance comparison. These are two the ones I'm waiting to see from you

[@robertcollins2052]

If i was a little tighter. I may have splurged a bit on the monitor. Lol. Sayyyyyy, make it a 2250 keeping the cooler cause i love it, i currenly have 32(16x2) ram. I know i will eventually need to bump that up, but i am coming from a vector\bitmap art background and learning Blender and slicing. So that should work until i get more complex. I can scrap my old build for an extra 16. Now.... In your more experienced mind should i cut costs a bout 150-200? GPU price spike with that recall isnt helping

[@HoundDogMech]

You still need a BIG Monitor: Expensive: In the $700 and $1,000+ price range, you’ll encounter curved monitors with giant screens that are optimized for buttery-smooth gaming. Screen size alone will go a long way to drive the price of a curved monitor to the higher end. But an ultrawide monitor is worth it for power users who want to get the most out of their PC.

Congratulations on the video. I was waiting for such a video to change pc to use for 3d and render. The specs of my pc now are: Cpu: Ryzen 1700x Motherbord: Asus Crosshair VI Hero Ram: G.Skill Trident Z RGB16GB Cpu cooler: NZXT X42 GPU: Asus Strix 1080TI I have been keeping this configuration for over 5 years. I would like to change almost everything except GPU, various ssd and m2 and power supply. I don't need the case since I made myself a desktop pc. By changing these pieces with those shown in the video, will I notice significant performance improvements? Thanks

[@theTechNotice]

Oh yes, 100%

[@2thjockey]

Great videos! I would like to go with a i9-12900k with DDR 5. As of now (Aug, 2022), should I still be concerned with stability? Would like the DDR5 for future proofing my system. Don't want to have to upgrade motherboard just for better ram. Thanks, Don

[@hanklevesque426]

Now that 3 months have past, would you change any of the components you recommended back then? I’m close to buying components and this is a good price point for me, with some wiggle room for more expensive components. Great videos - just can’t figure out how you produce them so quickly and in such volume. Thx!

[@theTechNotice]

Not really, these are the best components and you can get a much better GPU now :)

Hey man I’m confused now. Watched your previous videos and have been collecting parts slowly for video editing rig. You recommended the Ryzen 9 before and now it’s intel ? Ah man now I’m already a board and cooling in . Are u saying ryzen isn’t the way to go anymore ?

[@theTechNotice]

What I'm saying is that in 2022 March Intel seems like the better bang for buck and AMD Ryzen 5000 starts to show it's age. Not to say Ryzen is bad at video editing, just Intel to me makes more sense and offers better performance.

[@Michael-xr5yx]

Would love some tips on making a variant of this build as close to silent as possible. I make music but also do some 3d and photoshop. Quietness is a high priority. I've heard some people prefer a massive air cooler over liquid cooling because of the pump motor noise and water noise from a liquid cooler. Any opinions on cases designed for quietness? Also heard an oversized PSU is a good idea because the PSU fan won't be running as hard. Thanks for making these videos. Extremely useful.
