Build the BEST Video Editing PC on ANY Budget

[@REFITSTUDIOS]

Thanks for having me on the channel! :)

[@welchworks]

Good job, man! Very informative!

[@nlpbball7331]

Good job champ

[@ElwinZepar]

No hate spread tho but as being the computer enthusiastic guy and a editor as well. There's a lot on choosing a motherboard, yeah you look for the ram slot, but for VRMS as well, m.2 slot and 16x gen 4th pci slots. And And one don't have to spend more on 3700x or above, yeah they are very good cpu, and buyer can spend so, if their budget allows them too, But you can start with ryzen 5 3600 only, that's very great cpu, based on 7nm technology packed with 6 cores, 12 threads and handles 4k editing like a hot knife on butter. And yeah intel is still rocking their 14 nm technology And yeah i do that intel are a bit optimized for premier But still lacks multi threaded performance, as editing take a whole lot on CPU. So more core and more threads definitely help alot and as per their 7nm technology, they are a bit faster as well (Important note - Yeah if budget allows you to go higher then that definitely the buyers calk) And whats the other aspect that matters in choosing ram is their speeds, example - 3000mhz, 3200 mhz, 3600mhz Ans one can start with 3200 mhz (8x2) 16 gb for butter smooth experience, and if budget allows they can go higher. And now coming to the GPU As shown in the video, check out Linus tech tips video on building a 4k editing pc on budget, they were rocking a 1650 super gddr6/5 And the result was darn butter smooth. You can check their video as well. And a nvidia 1660 ti or super is good card for 4k editing and for the higher you can easily go with RTX 2060 super 8GB Vram or 5700xt card. For storage, You choose nvme m.2 they are faster and will help in render time not much but consumable and it help alot. Other option you can go with SSD sata drive And Use HDD for storage purposes, you can go with 1TB, 2TB or more, it depends on your budget and needs. Tip - always keep your stems/editing file, on SSD and later when the project gets complete, move them to HDD. PSU- Go with a branded PSU and for above mentioned specs on this comment, get 650watt 80+ bronze minimum and you can get gold platinum as well And for beefy CPU AND GPU, go above 650watt.

[@gamerflydude5660]

Great Job!!!

[@spydermonkey2127]

Awesome thanks for info. Its interesting what you mentioned about the GPU. I was looking into the gaming aspects and it is not needed. I am trying to build for video editing 4k and photo editing. So I can save a little bit on GPU. What are your thoughts of the new ryzen 5000 series? Needed? Not needed? Future proof?

[@hoshilam1485]

This was a SUPER comprehensive guide on the anatomy of a PC. All vids should be like this, THANK YOU 🙏🏽

[@Ramazanulı]

The only channel that recommends really budget friendly options for graphic cards. Respect for that

[@varunmummigatti1018]

This. This is how you make a pc building guide. Very well presented and properly guided. Was super helpful thank you 🙏

[@SLC-Smudge42]

I have been looking for a straight up info dump like this all over KZbin. Soooo glad I found this. Thanks.

[@PJSGBC]

I don't understand why not more 'thank you' comments... this video just save me hours! Thanks you guys!

[@RichPeacocke]

I had about 15 questions about building a video editing PC. Richard answered all of them. Thanks

[@cognacsensei5403]

Wow great video, Richard was quick and to the point. No fluff content at all.

[@freydun]

The best guide on youtube, quick to the point, informative.

[@jermainelawrence2604]

A big s/o to Josh & Richard. I’m currently looking to build a PC. Greatly appreciated!

[@REFITSTUDIOS]

much love homie!

[@Olufemii]

Thanks for watching Jermaine!

[@jermainelawrence2604]

Josh Olufemii all the time Josh

[@ritchiart]

This was a very easy to understand, have watched a ton of videos trying to find help, but this was straight to the point!

[@luxecraft-studio]

Exactly what I needed😊 thanks for this bro

[@feihung2000]

I've watched a lot of pc build guide but by far this is the best!! Everything I need to know stright to the point. Thanks guys.

[@nemisis4804MaddLabsTv]

This is a phenomenal Pc guide Great Video guys I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽💪🏾

[@andyf5315]

nice, practical easy-to-follow advice. Thanks! I've really mostly been fining gamer builds so this is great for me to get some perspectives on how this stuff will apply for video editing.

[@RyanKingLogue]

All that information in a ten minute video! My guy 💪

[@CyrielGuds]

Great value brother, thanks!! Gonna build my own PC for feature film editing, buying the parts next week thanks to you!

[@LCfit]

I currently edit on a MAC and I have learnt that actually I don't like it as much, I am currently trying to learn how to build a PC :). cheers for the video

[@tiger1775]

I’m looking to do my first build with a $1600 budget. I want the I9 and 32gb and will be using the pc mainly for video and photo editing in 4K. What build parts do you recommend and also a monitor? Been researching for a few days and your video is the best so far!

[@itsJOROCKO]

Did you ever build it?

[@tonytee2107]

Fine presentation. Well done! Let me go look for the 2022 version.

[@DanielleRootes]

This is SO HELPFUL thank you so much! I know nothing about building PCs and am looking to get something that can handle video and photo. This makes building seem so much easier now!

[@TerrelLism]

Thanks! I have most of my parts except the graphics card. It's nice to see a video editing build guide where 99.9% of everything else is gaming builds.

[@charlesbrunsoniii51]

This was an excellent video thank you so much for the good knowledge this video helped me a whole lot of what I need to buy thanks again for your video.

[@rabbitherochlo]

This is right on time! I’ve been looking into building a desktop for video and 3D rendering. I’m trying to convert from Mac! 😭

[@gerrybuyshouses]

Thanks so much for this very informational video. i appreciate you both

[@dabomb7887]

This was super useful, thank you

[@MrEffectfilms]

Any chance you two could do an update video for this given the insane overpricing and new components that have been released since this one?

[@shaykhchilly8529]

Awesome video I’m using an iMac but will def be switching to a custom pc build soon. Thank you!

[@solobanks4594]

Instantly subscribed lol thank you!

[@batman9512]

Great video. Simple and to the point. Thanks.

[@fellow7224]

How about talking about Cuda vs OpenCL? Nvidia Vs AMD graphics cards? And how about Recommending 7200RPM HDDs only since anything else is too slow for video editing? Best tutorial I’ve probably seen on building a video editing rig. Great job!

[@KSBWonders]

Yes, me too worried to get rx 6000 series

[@ld3354]

This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you! 🙏

[@vigneshgowda4348]

Very nice video sir. I'm in the confusion to buy motherboard for Intel i5 10600K processor. Please suggest me right one

[@PreVaylMusic]

This is most likely a suggestion video based off of using adobe product's. Up until recently Premiere was cpu heavy and did horrible job using cuda cores. If you are running davinci its a different thing all together.

[@davidlavalleejr]

This is excellent. Thanks for putting this out super helpful

[@daywlkr_svt]

Was there a price spike from the time this video was made up to current day? Mainly in regards to the graphics cards?

[@mgr5550]

Yes bec of covid, extreme hype and opportunistic screwing over of consumers so they hiked the price and created an artificial demand.

[@Pfagnan]

AMAZING VIDEO!! 👏👏👏👏

[@cryptorypto746]

Just subbed. Will this be a good pc to buy just to make apps in android studio - *Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF Desktop PC Intel Core i3-6100U 6th Gen Processor 8GB Ram 500GB Hard Drive Windows 10* I need something reasonable fast that can handle it.

[@Sceleri]

he misses some major stuff.. like that 8GB is definitely not enough for anything these days. 16GB should be the minimum if you want to have anything but your video edit, like photoshop or maybe even a couple tabs in chrome open while you work. Speaking of that, he completely missed the peripherals. Like that you need a display. Preferrably two. Also should mention which chipset and socket each cpu needs. NVIDIA gpu's have shadowplay which can be a life saver for recording on a budget. And for cooling, the tip should just be "get a noctua aircooler that's rated for your cpus power draw" lol

[@centersofinfluence3108]

Nice videos and colab just subbed to you and Richard

[@kurthugger9107]

I do a lot of work with handbrake. Is this good for that?

[@rondalynneallen4018]

So cool learn a lot. Thanks

[@mydailyburger3924]

Amazing! Well-explained!

[@diegocatellani6747]

Great video, may I ask you where you found the 2060 at 300€? Many thanks

[@fgxstudios617]

Richard this is great info, but wassup with the Mac laptop you're using in the video? Why not a PC laptop?

[@aboodabulaban2867]

for video editing mac is better if you have the money for it.

[@REFITSTUDIOS]

Ahaha I prefer the Mac eco system and OS, although for the price it’s not worth for the specs. Possible debate on this topic coming soon in a future video 👀

[@SakkiDuran]

You should also consider the type of ram

[@The_Daliban]

Great video!Great guys!Thank you both so much

[@universalroads8176]

Ok here is my question. What CPU should I get. I have . > Mother board - Maximus vi extreme Gpu - GeForce GTX 780TI Sata Samsung 500gb ssd Air cooler

[@JaysCashVault]

Omg finally a video like this and I haven’t even started watching you have a sub!

[@RustedFaith]

No mention of Xeon Processors (Dual Processors / More Cores) and No mention of Quadro Card (10 bit colour support) !!! Get a Z820 or Z840 with a Quadro Card = 4k editing pro workstation at half price :)

[@alistairgraham8073]

Just stumbled upon your video - i realise things have moved on and gpu process are high. My question is what graphics card would you recommend - i am a photographer but my camera can record 8K video and i planned to do some wildlife videos in 8K.

[@victor80016]

Informative. Thanx

[@KolotovGleb]

Fuck. Finally, a video that is done like a presentation. Clear and concise!

[@kenvision]

thanks for sharing really good information :)

[@EraDANCEACADEMY]

Very much appreciated 🙏

[@1twosew97]

Great video! For the storage, how do we assign/sort one for OS and another for video editing?

[@JOELY713]

Yo this video was so helpful!

[@jarold1940]

Nice video and very helpful 😊

[@Ninjanoodles78]

This was pretty helpful! Thanks!

[@MyBob369]

Atlest this video direct easy to understand

[@floatingrabbit3556]

I am in the process of either building my very first rig ir purchasing an E gpu, actually could you do a video on egpu's and how they perform for video editing I have only seen them for gaming and they kick ass.

[@cmritchie04]

what are those prices now days 2024?

[@joshuadon5255]

Hi good day sir, i am happy to see you explaining more on PC Components. please i need your help, i bought a desktop motherboard "GIGABYTE B365M I don't know its compatible parts that is needed for Good ultra performance for it. please help me list or make a video tutor on how to Built a good pc with the above mention Board thanks!

[@andrewgdavies]

Excellent.

[@anilhari007]

Is that ok for 2GB GT730 graphics card

[@emilsoberbro36]

"Amd is typically better for games becasue of onboard graphics"...hmmm

[@nabeelakhtar6073]

Yeah..... not sure what this dude is trying to say there

[@unluxkyDave]

It almost discredits What he’s talking about... I don’t anyone playing games without a dedicated gpu in 2020

[@kabaalkebulan9475]

Great video

[@amazingambient8152]

What is taped to the back of his laptop?

[@wolverinex4243]

Can I use the amd ryzene 7 with 16 g ram 3060 to edit?

[@camilina1526]

Which ATX motherboard do you recomend for a high built? I plan on buying a ryzen 9, 32 gb ram, 2070 super and 1 or 2 NVME.

[@REFITSTUDIOS]

MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON is a great option, price is good & the spec support is insane. If you can afford to get 2 NVME drives (1 for OS 1 for editing) that would be ideal

[@camilina1526]

@@REFITSTUDIOS Thank you so much!

[@Moshimulations]

@@camilina1526 no that chipset isnt worth it, get a B550/X570 as they will have better cooling the pro carbon will be better using the X570 chipset especially for R9 3900x. Also you get PCIE 4 which can help for stability when looking at newer cards you can also get the NVMe's and they will be using PCI 4

[@phizzemgaming7564]

Definitely helped !

[@ririali9698]

Which mother board do you recommend for Ryzen 5 3600 ? And 32 ram and 1650 super

[@ptm3108]

Buy ryzen 7

[@RobertRodriguez19]

Thanks man

[@puneetjangid3934]

R5 3600 or R7 2700 which one will be better for video editing?

[@asterio2863]

R7 2700, cause it has more cores, which is very important for video editing pc

[@dwill123]

Very nice video. Thank you for posting. One suggestion, less coffee.

[@mohxinrajpoot]

Hey . We want the part 2 of this video's 2022 edition

[@Hayfordnanaosei]

Hi, Please I need your help, Can you please confirm for me if the below specs will be good for 4K Video Editing and Cinema 4D. I just Bid it on eBay for £1200. AMD RYZEN 9 3900X AMD RYZEN 9 3900X 3.8GHz 12 CORE Nvidia GEFORCE RTX 2070 8GB Asus ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING PSU: Corsair RM1000X NVMe: Samsung 500GB 970 EVO PLUS RAM: 2x16G Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 Thanks I will be very grateful for your reply and advice.

[@robinreportsuk]

Excellent Video, now I can go to the PC shop and Buy my PC now thank you, I'm armed with the knowledge so now I won't sound like an Idiot, thank you very much, at least they can't try to rip me off now becuase I will know now, Cheers for the Video Job well done (:

[@luckylavanya4169]

Excellent

[@Emolederc]

when i built my rig, i asked myself how many tripple A games would i be able to run if i had x and y; then i ran with that 😁

[@theiansm]

I went with a b450i mini-itx, R5 3600x, 32gb 3400 mhz, gtx 1660 super 6gb & wd 500 m2 housed in a Cougar QBX. I don't render 4k, but my 1080p projects render at around less than half the project duration.

[@cozzernator]

I’m looking to build essentially the same pc I record in 4k, do you have any slow downs in 1080?

[@shtefangusan5464]

Uhm.. where do you get a rtx 2060 for 300 bucks?

[@froznfire9531]

Look at the date of the recording... And you would get a 3060+ nowadays (Sure prices are crazy atm anyways)

[@dragoninthewest1]

There are plenty of Micro ATX boards that have 4 memory slots.

[@wafeeq3802]

One day🤲🏽

[@kyleluanvu2274]

Can you game on the pc?

[@AT_IRL]

that was helpful! word up

[@kamil6958]

The ryzen 5 3600 has six cores right?

[@notrai1594]

Yes

[@TheTrackRecord]

He contradicts himself on the hard drive section. First he says get two NVME drives for OS and scratch then later he says get a NVME and a SATA. Anyone know what's best?

[@truman0725]

If you have the budget for it go for x2 nvme disks if your motherboard supports it, fast data speeds can really help with video editing. If not, use a smaller nvme disk for your os and your applications and a bigger SATA SSD for storage. It's really hard to justify buying mechanic drives nowadays for storing anything that is not pictures. Ssds are so cheap so you might aswell.

[@TheTrackRecord]

@@truman0725 awesome, thanks.

[@seegas1]

6:48 Why not a second NVMe for the scratch disk to edit off of?

[@mgr5550]

I wouldnt... the scratch disk is nothing but your footage edit drive. NVMe is pretty new and though extremely fast they dont do much for video editing because even 6K files dont use that much throughput. An all intra 400 Mbits per sec 4K file is actually only 50 MegaBytes per sec. Even a normal HDD will handle it (not multiple tracks though. So it all depends. In my recent upgrade i opted for a normal SATA SSD because they run cooler and have ample throughput for even 8K files. NVMe is better at fast short bursts so its good as an OS drive, they HEAT UP on continuous data traffic, and they also have nil to lousy DRAM, i tried them for editing footage. Put same test files on each drive and started a project on the timeline comprising both sets of clips. Both ran exactly similar. In fact the NVMe choked up a few times.

[@noblefps6025]

a 3600x is definitely not a quad core CPU💀

[@welchworks]

Anyone know the names of the mid and full towers displayed at 8:00?

[@phamwoaw]

Mid nzxt... I full don't know don't get it

[@swashy8933]

So glad he didn't plug a liquid cooling system. Lots noobs with mums credit card have them haha

[@mgr5550]

Yeah exactly.

[@r3techbox371]

Why put the words budget?

[@nestormerced8887]

ths dude good help

[@JankovicCreative]

It hurts watching this in 2022....

[@3ALEGIONS]

did you say GPU is not important !!!

[@SidhuShorts5911]

Bro ryzen 5 3600x has 6 cores.

[@dromeda6066]

I think Imma get the R5 3600x I'm literally making anime edits on insta I don't need such a high cpu LMAO

[@kyleluanvu2274]

Like fortnite and hardcore gaming

[@skeeterbrookscreationsllc2106]

I wished folks talked a bit slower just a bit.
