Best PC Build for Photo, Video & Rendering

jshhndsd · Jul 11, 2017

Hi guys,

I would like your thoughts on the perfect PC build for photo, video and and 3D rendering. I am looking for speed, storage and power as well as the best output on-screen quality. Can you please recommend a monitor as well.

P.S. Budget is not a problem.

Thanks.

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4GHz 8-Core Processor ($309.99 @ Amazon)

Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($148.98 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung - 960 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($308.87 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($83.61 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card ($779.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair - Crystal 570X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case ($179.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($107.49 @ SuperBiiz)
Monitor: Acer - XR382CQK bmijqphuzx 37.5" 3840x1600 75Hz Monitor ($1099.99 @ Amazon)
Monitor: Dell - U3417W 34.0" 3440x1440 60Hz Monitor ($769.01 @ B&H)

1080Ti is probably an overkill but oh whale. Screen refresh rate is 75Hz but the IPS display is perfect for editing and such.

Feel free to make changes as necessary. Can add a water cooler but I for one don't prefer them. The H7 is great and quieter than most water coolers. We can drop the RGB if you want lol
