Help with building €1000 for video-editing, gaming and livestreaming

Nightwalkerrrr · Jan 28, 2016

Hi,

I'm building my pc for the first time. I intend it to use it for video-editing in Adobe Premiere, animating & SFX in After Effects as well as for graphic design work in Photoshop and I also want it to be a good gaming pc to play (and stream) Squad/Dayz SA/Arma III/Project Reality and other FPS or survival games.

My knowledge on the pc parts market is limited so I'd like to get some advice on what's the best solution to my budget around the € 1000,-. Is this list something I can work with and can I save on some parts? Are there better options? I'd like to hear what you guys think.

For heavy video editing and image editing like photoshop or adobe premier i'd say 16 to 32 gb of ram would be recommended, i see that you do have 16 gbs so it depends on how intense your editing will be. I love this build Good luck!!

I think I'll stick with the 16Gb for now. I can always upgrade later if needed. Is there anyway I can save and bring the total amount somewhere closer to the € 1000,-?

You can get a PNY ssd at get price for similar performance

What I found searching on PCPartPicker, the only PNY I could find was this one:

Storage PNY SSD7CS1111-240-RB CS1111 2.5" SSD 240GB N/A €0.369 (4) €88.64

In price not so different from the Samsung.

Okay, got a new setup: I'm not sure if I need that much RAM though.
