His pre-built pc or build my own similar pc?

[sam-whitts]

Hi, I am looking at buying my own PC to edit videos with; After Effects, Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and possibly mocca, nuke and cinema 4d in the future. I will also be wanting to use photoshop. No Gaming for sure! But using the internet to browse emails.

I have found a pre-built pc on a online forum but I have also looked at building my own PC but I do not know out of the two which one would be better. I would really apprechiate some more help.

I have worked out that his will cost me in the region of £1100 and mine will also be £1100 depending on who I buy my items through. I would really apprechiate it if I could have some advise on the pc that will last me the longest/ provide me with fastest workflow. I will only be using 1080p footage.

I hope I have explained myself well, not too good on the essays. Thanks

Get the prebuilt one, its way better for what you want and is really well priced IMO. Whilst I usually recommend building, you gotta buy the prebuilt one
