Hello everyone,
One of my friends needs help with a budget build. He's starting out as a professional video editor, but right now his PC is REALLY outdated. He wants to buy a new one, but his budget is quite limited at the moment, and waiting until he can save up more money isn't an option here.
He films and edits birthdays, parties, social events and that kind of stuff, at 1080p.
He doesn't use many complex effects (just some basic ones sometimes, and some image correction effects maybe), but it really takes too long for him to preview, render and export the videos. He doesn't have too many clients/videos yet, so editing/render times are not a financial bottleneck, jsut a big annoyance.
Therefore, he needs a new rig.
He uses Adobe CC, mainly Premiere (long videos), and in second place After Effects (usually only short videos are involded with this program). Absolutely NO gaming, no other uses for this rig. He probably will NOT overclock.
What would better suit his needs?
I was thinking about an AMD 8320, would it be a good choice? Can you reccomend me a good budget motherboard to pair it with?
He will be getting 16GB ~2133MT/s ram, 1TB 7200rpm HDD,
Another one of my friends suggested he should get an FX6300 and some graphics card, but as his budget is quite limited he can't really afford a mid/high end card, like a gtx770 or R9 280x, so he would be stuck with a low range card like a 250x.
Would it be worth it to get a slower CPU with a low end GPU? Would it be faster than a better CPU?
Is it really worth getting an intel i7 3770/4770? Is the difference in speed enough to justify the price difference?
Also, is it really worth getting a gtx 770/R9 280x or similar to speed up these programs? Is it worth spending $300 on a gpu? Would it really be at least twice as fast, or even more?
He will not be getting an SSD yet, but how important do you think that would be? Would it really help to get one? Would it make a big difference on his waiting times? What part of the process would be the most affected?
