I am a registered drone pilot. My drone has 4K video capability. Even though I do not currently have a 4K display, I want computer hardware that is capable of handling 4K video in case I upgrade to a 4K display (TV and/or Monitor). I also intend to install the maximum amount of RAM supported by the hardware. I am planning to both partially rebuild my gaming desktop PC and buy a new laptop to do video editing of aerial drone footage. I intend to do video editing on both machines, but I still want my desktop to have PC gaming capability like my previous builds and I would like the laptop to have gaming capability as well. I need to ask questions about two of the components.
First, my question has to do with the CPU. I currently use an Intel i5-7600K, but I am planning to replace it and the motherboard with a CPU better suited for both video editing and gaming. Would I be better off with an Intel i7 CPU or an AMD Ryzen CPU? My intention is for both the desktop and laptop to use identical or nearly identical CPUs such as i7s. Currently I am holding off until after Intel releases Coffee Lake and will go with the i7 8700K CPU if Intel i7 is the recommended option. But before the money is shelled out, I would appreciate suggestions on which CPU to purchase.
My second question has to do primarily with the desktop GPU. I currently use an Asus GTX 970 Strix. My previous GPU was an Asus GTX 770. I am planning to replace my GPU when Nvidia releases their new GTX 1100 or 2000 series early next year. Based on your experiences with GTX 970s and 1070s, would a GTX 1170 or 2070 be capable of handling video editing in 1080p and 4K or would it be better that I move up the chain to a GTX 1180 or 2080? If you recommend Radeon, which model would you recommend?
What GPU would you recommend for video editing on the laptop?
Please note that I am focusing on the main product lines of CPUs and GPUs. Even though price is not currently an issue, I am not looking at enthusiast level hardware like the $1000+ Intel Extreme CPUs or the $1000+ GTX Titan.
Thanks.
