Hello there everyone. Here is my part list in case people are curious. Somehow I got this below $1500 but I am looking to see if it is possible to get it below $1400 when including shippings and based total but not including discounts and rebates. My goal is to get a build that will be enough for 1080p/60FPS video editing (and recording myself in front of the camera) yet also able to upgrade to 4K editing in the future (when they start to become standard) as I intend to start a YouTube channel.
I am close to submitting a build to my brother's friend (who will hopefully be able to help me with the build since I am new to learning about PC hardware) and there is one last detail I'd want to iron out before doing so. That is, what optical drive do I need for video editing?
My primary intention is to do video editing and stream Super Smash Bros. Wii U with friends (although I might do PC gaming in the future, that is so far not a concern) and I have no intentions of watching DVDs or Blu-Rays on my computer. However, I am trying to figure out if there is any way for me to cut down on cost from what I have and the only thing I can think of potentially doing is to cut down my optical drive (which is shown here as Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer). This is something that I want to do but I want to make sure that removing a Blu-Ray player/writer won't remove anything that would be important when video editing. If there is, please tell me, but if there are no compelling reason, I intend to downgrade to a $20ish DVD Writer/Player that can also write/play CDs.
Thank you.
