First-time PC Build - Video Editing - £700 flexible budget

[HulmeBoy10]

Hi guys! Hope everyone is good!

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to desktops and I'm looking for some solid advice from as many people as possible when it comes to building myself a PC. I want to build my own PC because for the quality of the parts it sounds like you can save quite a bit. My PC would be for video editing purposes and standard usage only. I've been told I'd need these parts and I'd love to have any recommendations, PLEASE REMEMBER I WILL NOT BE GAMING ON THIS PC:

Blu-Ray Drive
keyboard (non-gaming)
mouse (non-gaming)
speakers
monitor (have a 1080p one already but open to suggestions)
Harddrive (and/or SSD) - friend has 1TB and 120 GB respectively
a case
CPU (aka processor)
CPU fan
power supply
motherboard
graphics card
RAM

I've been told to include the following info too:

budget: £700 at the moment, flexible
resolution: 1080p
usage: frequent video editing for YouTube
country: UK
OS: need one
peripherals needed: mouse, keyboard, speakers

Thanks in advance for any replies. I'll be on here as much as possible replying to any of you kind fellows who can help me out!

Regards, Zak.

Well, 700 pound will go a LOT further without needing to buy a monitor or HDDs. Whatever you can not buy, the better.

How heavy of video editing are we talking here? Renders of multiple hours or more? Shorter clips (hour or less?). Matters for what CPU id suggest. Also, what resolution are we talking here?

[HulmeBoy10]

Hi man thanks for the response! Video editing of about an hour or less as you say. Resolution would need to be 1080p.

This is a budget 8-thread build, wi a little room left over for a basic keyboard/mouse/speakers.

It will cruise through video work, being quad-core and hyperthreaded.

I'd also say that the monitor part plays a huge hole at video editing since you're going to get colors wrong if you tune them at a bad display.

And you could also shift some GPU power into CPU, since video editing is the main goal:

As you can see from above you need more of a budget for a 6/12 core and less for 4/8core. Depending how important, the load and how much you want to invest into to this i would look at:

Only reason i avoided X99 was because its just not needed for what he's doing. It wont even save him that much time if he's doing sub-1 hour renders.

I'd have dropped it down to a 750Ti but with only a ~25 pound difference, and the extra options that using a modern GPU gets him (VASTLY better 4k support if he wants to go that way in the future - the 750Ti and R5 230 wont help there at all) won out. If nVidia or AMD currently made a GPU with HDMI 2.0 or multi-display 4k support that was cheaper than the 950, id' say go for it, but thats as far down the chain as you can go.

Now, if you want to bust that budget, post an upper limit and we can really go to town.

Thanks for the suggestions dude. Will be researching these parts ASAP!

Thank you for these options. Really cool to see two complete sets for comparison !
