New PC for Video editiong

Taha Abdulghafoor · Apr 18, 2014

I have an old PC and I need to use After Effects CS6 , so I decided to buy new PC that can render HD videos very fast. I have used my friends computer, it has i7 2600k , 16GB ram , 1 TB 7200rpm HDD, GTX 560 ti . I have used his PC to render a 720p video 20 minutes length. the rendering time was 7 to 8 minutes.

I need a fast PC that can render 5 or10 times faster than that PC. Any suggestions?

What's your budget? Do you need a monitor, OS, keyboard, or mouse?

Donand Ironman · Apr 18, 2014

You should build your own pc as per your requirements. For this type of pc you will need a big amount of money.

I think the Titan Black would be the fastest graphics card, but it's $1000.

Of course there are better ones, but they cost several thousand dollars.

Make sure you get a lot of RAM, 16GB seems like enough. Get a motherboard that will allow you to upgrade to 32GB, if needed.

No, my friends PC costs around 1200$. And I can buy a PC from 1500$ to 2000$ but not more. Also without monitor and OS and keyboard and mouse, because I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit already. And I have to use one monitor 20 to 21" LED.

How about i7 4770 , 32 GB of ram , Seagate 600 Series 480 GB SSD , Nvidia GTX 760 4 GB

There's also the GTX 680:

If you want one, you pretty much have to buy a used one, though.

Is this build good enough for my need? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3tSKG

Donand Ironman · Apr 19, 2014

I would recommend this as motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-maximusviformula
Graphic card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n7803gd5
Power Supply I would recommend this for efficient system performance: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-power-supply-rs850spm2d3us
And better choose a 128 giga solid state drive to install windows as ssd's are super fast and another 3.5'' hdd for storage.
With this build your computer will work like you want.

Have a look at this, I hope you can scrape 10 bucks together:

INTEL CORE I7 4770K CPU / HYPER 212 EVO COOLER / ASROCK Z87 EXTREME 4 / 2X8 GB KINGSTON HYPER X BLUE RAM / CRUCIAL M500 120 GB SSD / SEAGATE BARRACUDA 2TB HDD / EVGA GEFORCE GTX TITAN BE / CORSAIR CARBIDE 200R / ANTEC HCG 850 WATTS.

Donand Ironman :

How about Seagate 480 GB SSD for windows and everything. It has enough space. Also what is the difference between GTX 760 4GB and GTX 780 3GB that you recommended ? Does the graphic card have a great effect on rendering speed? Because I noticed when rendering that it uses more than 70% to 90% for CPU + 75% of ram. But I disable the frame simulation + turn off preview while rendering by pressing Caps Lock before start render.

Donand Ironman · Apr 19, 2014

If you think that 480GB will be enough for you then its perfectly fine. Windows will use approx. 10Gb for installing.

Difference between GTX 760 and GTX 780: GTX780 Is the Boss : http://www.hwcompare.com/14796/geforce-gtx-760-vs-geforce-gtx-780/

How about this build from AMD ? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3utGj

Donand Ironman · Apr 19, 2014

intel core i7 is better than AMD FX-8350

GTS 780 is better than Radeon R9 290

Taha Abdulghafoor · Apr 19, 2014

I changed in my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3uB8W

So now is it better to get two GTX 760 4GB with SLI, or one GTX 780?

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 19, 2014

Taha Abdulghafoor :

One 780 will dominate two 760s.

Donand Ironman · Apr 19, 2014

I suggest you using only one GTX 780 as it will be better even if you are using 2 GTX760

Taha Abdulghafoor · Apr 22, 2014

I reduced my budget to less than 1000$ . So, can the i7 4770 , 8 GB Ram , 256 GB SSD , GTX 750 Ti build good for both AE CS6 & Blender(because I'm using blender also for some interior design), but I have Core 2 Due on my old PC so it render in few hours--> for me that is so noisy and wasting time.

wolverine96 · Apr 22, 2014

Taha Abdulghafoor :

I use Blender too.

Here's a list of benchmarks for Blender Cycles:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As2oZAgjSqDCdElkM3l6VTdRQjhTRWhpVS1hZmV3OGc#gid=0

They're from this:
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?239480-2-6x-Cycles-render-benchmark

Here's another benchmark, but they only have 3 graphics cards on it, they just show you the best ones (Titan Black is better than Titan):

Hope this helps!

Edit: Make sure you get an nVidia Card! AMD cards do not work in Blender!
Edit: Yes, I would get the 750ti. It's a good card for your budget.

Yes it will be good
