Let's go ahead and take a look at
some of the parts I picked.
So we'll start off with the processor
Probably, the most important part of
any computer build. This is the Intel
Core i7 Processor, the 5820k. It's one of
the most affordable six core processors
out there right now. And the main reason I
bought it is everyone talked about how
great it is for video editing. Now when
you're building your PC, you're going to
want to look for a processor that has as
many courses you can get within your
budget and that also have as many gigahertz
within each core. So, what I was
working with on my Macbook Pro 2011 was
a dual-core processor and while it had very
powerful cores, it was limited in the
amount of work it can do in a short
period of time. So, I'm really excited to
see what this guy can do for me
compared to what I've been working with.
I'd say your next biggest part from what
I've been told at least, is your
motherboard. What I went with was the X99
Taichi and the reason why I'm saying
that this is probably your next most
important part, especially within your PC
build is that you're going to want a
motherboard that can grow with you. So I
ended up getting a motherboard that was
probably a little bit more expensive
than what I needed especially for my
processor and the RAM I'm using and all that
good stuff. But you're going to want a
motherboard that can handle much higher
performing processors in the future. So I
went ahead and bought a little bit more
expensive motherboard on the market
for that reason. From what I've been reading
and all the reviews and everything, this
is a great motherboard to work with.
So this is another point of contention
in the PC parts world and this is your
video card. It being a video card you would
think, well this is going to be a really
important part for me in terms of
editing video. But from what I've been
reading, especially if you're working
in Premiere Pro, it doesn't really use your
video card that much.
That being said if you're going to be
doing color correction work in DaVinci,
or even some graphics that you do in
After Effects, this might be a little bit
more important to you. So, I didn't want
to spend a fortune on the video card
when I was spending a lot of money on my other
parts. What I ended up going with was EVGA
GeForce GTX 1050Ti. From what I've been
reading, it's a very, very good card and
works wonderfully with the Adobe CC Suite.
I'm going to be using my computer
primarily just for video editing, so I
went with this one and seemed like a
great part. The next part that you're
going to want to take a look at is your
power supply. I went with the EVGA NEX
650G. To be honest, I don't know a lot about
power supply yet. A lot of people say,
"Well this is where you end up spending
more money than you need to for the
parts you're buying. Again, I want to upgrade
in the future so I wanted to get something
a little bit more powerful for what I
needed. From what I've been reading it
works really well with these other parts.
So I just wanted to you know find something
that I could plug in and it would work
right from the start.
We'll see how it does. Alright, so this is
another really important piece to your
PC build. This is your fan, your
cooling unit. I went with a Noctua Tower
Cooler, which from what I've been
told is an amazing unit. Linus over at
TechTips, he highly recommends these
because they're a little bit quieter and
they also just are much better units for
cooling. So, I wanted to get something
that would work really well with the
processor I was buying so we'll see how that goes.
Alright, so here's another point of
contention on your parts.
This is your RAM. Everyone thinks that
RAM is extremely important in terms of
speeding up your video editing process
when really it doesn't matter a whole lot.
It definitely matters when you're doing
graphics in After Effects, so if you're
going to be doing a lot of real-time
rendering, definitely look into getting
more RAM, but just to get
started I went with 16GB. So it
came with two 8GB RAM cards.
Definitely look into Corsair DDR4 RAM.
Alright, hard drive space. Hard drives, big
deal...so when you're buying your hard drive
try and buy a 7200 RPM, especially if
you're using it only to edit video.
So this is what I went with, the 4TB
7200 RPM DeskStar NAS Hard Drive.
These are not that expensive,
especially with solid-state drives being
the main thing out there on the market
right now. So you can pick these up for
relatively inexpensive prices. I have a feeling
I'm going to be buying another 4TB hard drive
here in the near future. I'm going with the
Microsoft operating system. This is Windows 10.
This is the main reason I've been trying
to stay away from building a PC for many,
many years. So hopefully, I've heard good
things, especially from previous
Apple users who you know obviously love
the ease of use of that operating system.
They say that this is semi comparable
and that Microsoft is doing bigger and
better things in terms of improving its
operating system in the future to make
it more user-friendly. So, we'll see how
it goes.
This was about $100. So, it's not super
expensive, but again, I'm not thrilled to be
putting this on my computer. And you're
also going to want
a computer tower. So what I went with was
this case called the Ethnoo Pro. It's giant.
And it's also extremely heavy. So, I think in
the future, if I build another PC, I'll
probably get something a little smaller
more lightweight. I'm very confident it's going to fit
everything I just bought and additional hard
drives and RAM in the future. And from what
I've been told, its a great case. Now during the course
of me just explaining these parts to you, I realized
that I don't have my SSD hard drive.
I just completely forgot to buy it.
Luckily, it was an Amazon order and it's
going to get here in one day, but already this one
day build is turned into two. If you're
starting completely from scratch without
a display, you're going to want to buy one of those
as well. Luckily this one, when I bought it
it was on sale. On top of that, you're going to want
to get a mouse. I use this trackball mouse that you see here.
I love it. It's completely changed my editing
game. Definitely improves my performance.
I'd highly recommend getting a
trackball mouse like this, or you could
just buy like a $20 mouse if you just want to get
started. So along with that mouse, you're going to
want to get a keyboard that works with
it. I went with this, the Logitech Solar Power
K750 Keyboard. I've actually been using the Mac
version of this keyboard for a long time now,
about a year, and absolutely love it.
So that's a quick rundown of all the parts.
Altogether, it cost me about $1400.
There's a actual real cost
right there. But this is a very
basic build. It's not going to do everything
that I need, but again I'm gonna be
upgrading in the future, so it's a great place to start.
