Another good one. Since we have very similar $3000 builds please do a video when you update that one in a year or so.
lucky bastard :))
Every time I am notified of one of your new videos, everything else gets put on hold.
ditto
same i was about to go to sleep and then i saw this video and i was like yes \o/ two months of waiting is finally over!
so i just said screw it and watched it
*****
Bathroom can wait.
If You're reading this, this build is $855 as of January 21st, 2016.
(I only included (1) 2Tb Drive and (1) 1TB Hdd..., no doubles)
and this is with or without the 39inch 4k monitor?
I built my editing computer for under $12...
Specs:
i9 5770k 32-core CPU
128gb ram
GeForce 890ti graphics card
3000 watt power supply
5tb ssd
14TB hdd
Asrock extreme 8 motherboard
Im able to get some sick edits with it, take my newest video for example.
lol
LOL I9
why'd u post the same comment from his previous vid
RDvideo99 *similar
im laughing so hard right now holy shit... OW my belly!!
I get so excited every time I see a new video from you! Can't wait to watch!
lol @ 14:32 "This is not true. Turns out I did great."
Excellent video as usual, I'm always really excited to see the latest video you've uploaded. It never matters what the subject is. You could upload a 10 minute review on toilet paper and which was best, and I'd be just as stoked to watch it simply for the incredibly high quality, useful information, and production value you put into your videos. It makes a huge difference.
Keep up the great vids my friend, quality over quantity. Looking forward to the next.
Shit, this is probably the longest video on RUclips I *really* watched whole. Damn, man, that was awesome!
If you're using Adobe After Effects the amount of cores does matter because you can use them all and dedicate however much ram you want to each core in the Preferences
Hey Will, this is kind of a noob computer question but how do I switch drives in my computer? I have a 2TB hard drive (in the computer) but everything I save or download goes to a 128 SSD (which only has 10GB left). Can you help me out? Thanks!
You choose a different drive to save it on when you download something. I think there is also a setting in chrome to change where downloads go.
I'm still editing FUll HD video 1080/60p with 4GB RAM, Dual Core Processor, Windows XP SP3, 512MB video card, using Adobe After FX CS4, Sony Vegas 10 with no problem.
I think one of the biggest differences between gaming and RAM is with video you have the frame already built, taken from the sensor of the camera - all you're doing is shovelling that data off your hard drive and through your CPU/video card.
With gaming the picture you see, each frame is calculated from a mathematical description in real time and much of that is done by the graphics card.
It's taking X-Y-Z co-ordinates, and building objects, placing them relative to each other, including light sources, calculating the where the light can go and reflect etc etc. Literally calculating the physics of the world you see.
i.e. games are a much different and much bigger problem than simply shovelling captured data through the system with minimal (comparitively) changes - which is what photographic video or stills image image processing is about.
With video hard drive and CPU are king.
With games specialised math is king.
people complaining that he spent to much? lol wtf, he is a part of a BUSINESS damn wake up lmao.
Your videos are just awesome and you seem to have a really loyal group of fans (myself included) you should grant them with more videos.
He actually covered a point that I always tell people. If you are in the digital visual arts field then don't skimp on the editing rig as that is where a majority of the "magic" happens.
you earned that thumbs up.
The Motherboard is the platform, This is obvious. You can overclock cpu's or upgraded later on with not much fuss but your connectivity requirements are essential when buying in a production environment and having everything as far as connectivity is concerned built into the motherboard will save having to buy extra components in order to pass information whether internally or externally . Sure you may not need some of the features but More will cost you less. BTW I can't stress enough, always run from an UPS.
For anyone who doesn't care for the long ass intro of parts and the breakdown of such (Like me lol) please skip to 1:09:40 for the start of the build
thank you darling
sio eati You are so WELCOME xD
exo.
Yay! Great job on the new video! Keep 'em up Will!
Is the i7 4770 better for the job than the amd that you suggested, how about using one SSD and on HDD? Graphics card seems to be little weak?
i7 6core processor chip..... what about lays or pringles chips? or chocolate chips?
Thanks for the detailed explanations, Will; I learned so much by just watching your video -- I even think I'll try my own build sometime down the line. Love the channel, love your videos and I am an ardent Snap fan! Keep up the good work and props to Glynn and the team for the excellent work you all produce!
There is only one thing that could make this video better. The Quadcopter!!!
I have a very expensive graphics card and want to build around it. Kinda like that faucet commercial who went to an architect to build a house around the faucet. ($3,000.00). Thanks for this video.
Great video. It's nice to have an affordable back up machine.
Great video man , always enjoy your cinematography !
I have heard and found that Windows 8 is a less user-friendly operating system than Windows 7. How does Windows 8 work for your purposes and how do you think it compares to Windows 7 ?
I would mention that those 4K TVs (this model included) are often running at 30Hz when used at 4K resolution and that they are probably not as good as a monitor as far as color accuracy goes. IMO I would wait a littlebit more for a 4K monitor / TV because the technology is not quite there yet (or affordable yet). Still a nice video and a good build for that price
Back in august of last year I built an amd fx 6300 6 core and it does what I want it to do and it has 16gb of ram and 250 gb ssd samsung 840
with your last build you could have saved by getting a older high end nvidia gpu like the 690 or the 590 since they are WAY better for video editing than any normal gpus and they are usually cheaper than getting a brand new gpu. plus you could have cut down on the ram a little bit
great stuff im into video editing and did about a 1400 build with a I7
So much good info packed in here! Thank you kindly for the share!
What are you talking about? Since 2012 Adobe supports also OpenCL what means there is no need to buy a video card with CUDA. CUDA is simply a little bit more popular technology used in Nvidia GPUs. You can accelerate your rendering process with OpenCL offered by AMD cards as effective as with CUDA. Am I right?
List of supported video cards by Adobe: helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html
Very true! But after effects doesn't support opencl while premier does.
***** Really? If it's true, my bad.
Poor advice on recommending a bottom end power supply. Sure an 80 Plus Titanium supply (>90%) is probably not worth it for most people, but to tell people "it doesn't matter" is not only complete bullshit, but very misleading. Two "750W" power supplies can vary vastly between manufacturers. These include things like overvoltage/overcurrent protection, transient suppression on the input, and output regulation/ripple. A better design which is outfitted with better components will ensure that a.) the power supply does not fail, causing you to replace it ($$$), b.) your hardware keeps working reliably (not goofing up and BSODing), and c.) your hardware is protected in the event of an external fault or power supply failure. In the end, these will all save you time, money, and stress. Especially for amateur PC enthusiasts, the last thing they should have to deal with is a failed PSU and the grief that brings about.
I know your busy, but wish you uploaded content more often. Always good stuff
Hey man, quick question; i'm a freelance film maker & have been working for 2/3 years, am hoping to upgrade from 2008 macpro to a PC system around this price range, would you say this system is still relevant?
You described this system as good for someone interested in making money off videos, considering I make videos on a full-time basis and am hoping to upgrade to 4k in about 6 months, do you still think this is good enough? I'm not interested in the cutting edge but rather staying competitive without spending over 1.5k
Adobe optimizes for OpenGL(AMD), CUDA(nVidia) is mostly optimized with software's associated with Autodesk, aka 3DS Max and Maya
I would go with two AMD C32 Server processors.
Dual C32 Motherboard.
It would still be around $1400.00
You can get 12 cores for the same cost.
I plan to use 3 Samsung 128GB SSD, one for the OS, and the other two arranged in RAID 0 I'm thinking this will be faster than 4 - 1TB HDD in RAID 0
What do you think?
*btw I don't need tons of storage on board plan to backup my video files as they are created to a external hard drive, and then delete from computer
Loved this video Will. Always great sound on your videos, what Mic are you using?
for me, a beginner, this was a fine, educational and clear expose. Tx, mr Urbina. Q: I saw another vid that seemed to promote cooling by having a cool airflow brought down on the to be serviced parts, instead of getting hot air out/exhaust. What is your opinion on the 2 ideas?
So will have higher read/write speeds on my drive improve render speeds? I'm building a PC soon so i've been wondering
Thanks for the very nice instruction video. I am using here a Samsung 240GB EVO SSD and two Seagate ST2000DX001, 8GB Flash SSHD (Hybrid) Drives. This gives you a very fast responding editing system with Premiere CC 2015 because most of the scratch data is kept in the GB flash buffer. I have selected the Intel I7 6700K Processor. These are producing much less heat than AMD, so I don't need to use a water cooler. My budget was €1500 exclusive my LG screen wich I already got. My video card is a MSI GTX970 4GB Twin Frozen.
Mmmmm, a long one! Gotta love em' long ones!
It will don't know if you know this but it seems like you don't, the power supply maybe rated for 750 watts but that rating is for what it can deliver to the actual components, when using a kilowatt you may be delivering 750 watts to all of your components but you would be pulling 900 (or something like that its just an estimation) from the wall. this is due to the efficiency rating of the power supply, hope this helps or at least informative.
***** ok, i guess i just didn't catch it, but i thought it could be helpfull
***** WOW! If you would have bought the fx 8320 and overclock it to fx9590 performance it would have been the perfect Editing Rig.Was this your anounced MOD?
***** In all honesty the FX9590 is just a gimmick. If the price point is close or the same as the 8350, it might be worth it. In this case it was probably fine to use, but I'd never use it personally.
Oh my god... this build is very similar. I'm using the gigabyte ud3 board as well as an amd vishera octacore at 5.0 ghz, but I'm running an evga 980 ftw.
Lot of great informations in this one video. Thank You so much.
Hi *****,I am planing on constructing a pc of my own soon strictly for video editing. I mostly use after effects and premiere pro for my edits and was wondering if its necessary to follow a raid system if I only conduct small projects (even if i don't make films and don't store lots of data of any type on my computer), is their still a risk of a hard drive failing.
Hello , i follow your instructions to build my computer , but the computer freeze what could be the problem, how can i fix it please
WAIT!!!!!!
In the video you said the refresh rate of the monitor was 30Hz but at 1:16:57 the box says 120Hz.
Which one is it.
Great video very educational thanks
Outstanding.......chock full of info and ideas, so very useful..Thanx
Could this be a similiar build to a music-production computer? Do you think 16 gb -ram is enough? Btw nice video
Hellow, Adobe première pro can use 2 cards like gtx 980 ti without SLI? thank you.
Cant believe i sat through and watched the whole thing. I learned a lot though.
the video card I'm using is a RADEON R9270X
Why did you go for a $40 PSU, from a very unknown brand, and not a maybe modular, 80+ rated PSU from a reputable brand?
You said around 2,200 is where you believe that the build would be most cost efficient. Would you make a parts list for a 2.2k$ build?
Also the nvidia GTX 970 seems like a great card for the $ atm so maybe include that
would be great if you did an more in depth review on the 4k Seiki
I am a freelance graphics designer.I use to make logo,business card and stationary stuffs.I am learning web designing and I have interest in video editing.How many monitor is needed?whats the size?I also need the suggestion of pc build up and how much it will cost in total?
i LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE VIDEO. I AM YOUR NEWEST FUN
I have 2730 euro in my budget for my new machine minus 450 euro for monitor.
this is what i have in mind.
maximus formula VII,i7-4790K,16gb dominator platinum 2133mhz,h100i,GTX980-DC2OC,AX 860,samsung 840 evo 250 gb,WD 3tb green,450d.AOC q2770Pqu
Asus have announced matrix platinum 980 so i might wait for it to be available to buy.
I had in mind ARIVBE and 4930k but lots of ppl said i would be better off with 4790k since there are no games that can utilize 6 cores.
If you have the time, would you be able to show how to get the desktop on a separate drive. I'm just curious as I have yet to get an SSD(beyond an external enclosure with one for school) or do anything of that sort, and never seen it done.
Hi, I have a Lenovo G780 laptop and I do some video editing, but it is not working out very good. Have you tested some external graphic cards? if not what do you think abut them?
I have a Intel 240GB SSD and it's filling up with OS and only a few games, these days with all updates of online games it can fill up quickly. back when I did my PC in 2012 SSD's were expensive and 500GB were not even possible mainstream now they have 1TB definitely sick for a lot programs.
AS WILL HAS STATED.... IF YOUR DOING A SERIOUS EDIT WORKSTATION; THATS ALL YOU HAVE ON IT, NOTHING ELSE.... ITS A MONEY-MAKER RIG FOR WORK NOT FOR GAMES... ALOHA
i saw you use GPU acceleration on the 1400 dollar build. did you do the same for the 3000 dollar build, and if so, what was the numbers compared to just the CPU alone
Will, you are fantastic with video, but I just gotta get on you about your lavaliere mic... The cord noise is killing meeeeee!
Not unbearable, but pushing painfully noticeable for us audio geeks ;P
This doesn't apply to the footage AFTER the build was completed. Everything after that was peachy.
Hi Will, I'm actually interested in this build no matter the adjustment of the prices, but how do you think this build would stand up against 100mb UHD from the GH4 or even 4k editing wise? ie. Editing multiple clips, with effects, and LUTs? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Soundcraft Vi6 mix console on screen in the background at 1:24:10.
love that console.
Hello distant relative !!! I write from Argentina, I'm looking for an answer to a question that has me crazy for a while.
Video Card: TPS or FPS? NVIDIA or ATI?
Not just for video editing but also for 3D design.
What is best for video editing?
My warrior PC:
Micro: 3.2 GHz Intel i5-750
Ram: 16 GB 1800 MHz (4x4)
HD: (1 x SSD 240 Gb) and (2 x 2TB HDD.)
Video: 2 x ATI HD6850 (I want to change it)
My economy is not the best :(
Will! We need a new build! PLEASE! May 10th 2016.
Did you use dual-HDMI or DisplayPort to connect the PC to the 4K monitor?
Hello. Have you experienced any freezing issues with this build?
I just bought a sony action cam and im getting lag and the audio is distorted. what graphics card wold you recommend. Im recording at 1080p at 60 frames. Im not doing any heavy editing i might add music nothing special.I guess my desktop dont cut it. what are the minimum requirements for the cpu or what what you recomend. Any help would be appreciated thanks
What cable was used to connect the USB 3.0 header port to the USB 2.0 motherboard port.
going for cheaper brand psu? isn't that risky? especially if you don't have a surge protector.
if i were to invest in a SOUND CARD, could this build also be used for audio recording? are there any complications to consider when using a computer for both video editing and audio recording?
***** Loving this channel a load. I am so glad I came across this channel. Are you planning on doing a kind of guide to video editing guiding us through choices and decisions that editors need to make when editing?
hey whats bro what do think about workstation pc
Looking your video you spend a lot of money just for the HDD's and Raid them, with approx the same speed as the SSD, why don't you buy a 1TB SSD approx price 400$,, 8 Core AMD 5.0Ghz, 250$, Motherboard 150$, 12 Gb Ram 100$ (You can also buy a mini ssd 60Gb and put it as Virtual Memory 500md R/W), Power supp 60$, 256 bit GPU 250+$, homemade case. = 1000$ Perfect for video editing, perfect SSD Speed, alot of ram and perfect for gaming. You just spend a lot of money for crap.
That amd processor is actually a lot cheaper now. Got mine for 115 at a local pc store.
Nik Wolfe Yea true and they work really well.
lol amd processor, gtfo dumb kid
Adan Ramirez Sounds like you are apple fun dumb kid :D
Domino SixO im a network engineer and i know my hardware, go read a fucking book kid because intel processors are better than AMD in terms of power efficiency and performance, bye kid
Is Intel Xeon E-5620 good for video editing ? I know it's a bit old but it's really a cheap CPU.
Also, is there a huge difference between the Intel Xeon E-5620 vs Xeon E-5649 except the extra 2 cores the 5649 has ?
I want to build a linux computer for video editing. Would that be different in any way? Mainly I wonder about being able to take advantage of dedicated scratch disk and GPU when not running Adobe (which I assume are not making linux versions of their software)
gtx 660 and gtx760 which is better for ae cs6,3dmax,maya,adobe premier?
should have migrated your 120gb ssd into the new build & buy yourself a 240GB for the big system
Thanks for sharing this new build. I have a question regarding the monitor. Did you have to or need to calibrate it for color correction duties? I currently have a Vizio E320-A0 that I sometimes plug-in, but hardly every use it for coloring because it's so overly saturated. I know it's hardly the best option, but before I jump into a new one I'd love to at least attempt the build with it. Is color correcting an issue you encountered besides the button pixels and size? Thanks!
***** Ah I see, thanks!
thanks, very details build pc.how did you upload over 1 hr video on youtube.
how many camera did you use to video on your how to video project.
can you do more video how to edit video with multi cam.
Thanks
why did you use the old h100 and not the new H100i ?
Isn't the 4k monitor overkill for the graphics card max resolution output?
Could you do a comparison between/setup tour of you new home and work office?
Hi man, i have the AMD FX8320E black edition and it comes with a stock cooling fan, i will edit video a lot so, with that said, im good to go ? i dont really want to spend more money in a cooling system, what do you recommend ? how to not overclock the processor?
Hi what do u think about my PC i bought it thiking i will play video ga,es most of the time, but I really liked editing movies ( i downloaded hte trial version od premiere pro :P ) i enjoy it morw than gaming and what do u think about this parts? Are they good for video editing or should I change something?
Intel Xeon E5 3.7Ghz
Nvidia 480 gtx
12 GB ram
500 GB HDD Memory
LG 24" monitor
I have to add I m not a pro, I just edit videos from some trips etc, i am just learning :)
*Hey man i am going to be getting a new computer do you think its worth it to got to a GTX 780 GFX Card?* For a editing/ Gaming Computer?
Yeah I have a gtx750
Hi, im just a noob in PC building, and i want it for video editing. I will buy the 50 dollar/month Adobe license but i'm wondering. How i will connect to the internet to download the apps ? do i have to buy an internet card ? thanks for your time
Can you give me specs for a 3d, 4k movie editing pc? No price range.
Should I go Xeon and Quadro or Tesla, or something else?

Thanks dude, but I already build my pc.
:(
Hello! I really enjoyed your video, i want my pc for 3D rendering and Video Edition, and i want to know if this Pc works for me. I really need to know because i have no time. Thanks a lot (and sorry, my english sucks)
Here it is:- (All, 1600 Euros)
MSI MSI X99A SLI PLUS X99Chipsatz

- SSD 240GB ADATA
- GeForce® GTX 980 JetStream (4GB-GDDR5)
- Netzteil Thermaltake 630W
What do you guys think of the 6 cores CPU - AMD FX 6300 for video editing ? Would you recommend it ? Or is there any other CPU you recommend for about $100 ?
You should try using pcpartpicker.com .It auto magically find the cheapest prices for parts and checks if they are compatible.
Why 9590? Just OC an 8350. 9590 isn't worth the price. It's a higher binned 8350, If I need something higher than an 8350, I'd just get a E3 Xeon, or an i7.
Okay this is my first time browsing on Newegg and for PC parts in general. I would love to do some low-medium video editing for under $1200, but I'm not sure if this combination would work?

Is there anything I could do/improve/fix this? Any good suggestions?
Ati doesn't exist anymore, they were acquired by AMD some time ago.
Awesome video... :)
