£600-£700 Editing pc budget build

[elliottboy]

I have a £600-£700 budget for an editing PC(easily edit 1080p), that can run games above 30fps. What is the best spec I can get for my money? Thanks for any advice.
(is the budget too optimistic)
Edit: some one has made this spec for me does anyone have any improvements on it?

AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor
£134.99
MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard
£80.99
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
£147.59
Kingston - A400 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
£29.90
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
£35.99
Gigabyte - Radeon RX 560 - 1024 4GB GAMING OC rev 2.0 Video Card
£139.99
NZXT - S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
£58.90
Corsair - Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
£43.00
Total(at time of writing this comment):£671.35

Edit: DaVinci is my preferred editing software.

For 700 pounds (= 950 dollars) this is the best I can do for 1080p editing. It will run most 1080p games at 60+ fps, but the ram is limited.
You will need to upgrade to 16GB for a true editing experience.

EDIT: 1st gen Ryzen is outdated, but I suppose it is ok at this price.
A 120GB SSD will fill up quickly and won't help you at this price range.
Instead, put the money on a 1050Ti: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7Ks8TW/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-video-card-gv-n105toc-4gd

So would you recommend upgrading to 2nd gen ryzen and to get rid of the ssd

An SSD is not worth it in a budget system. You can add it later.
If editing is your top priority, yes I would recommend it, the 2nd generation is newer and better.
However, if you can get a 1st gen CPU that performs better than a 2nd gen with the extra money from the SSD, go for it

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ Or I should say if you can get a 1700 instead of 2600X, go for it. Higher-end core/thread count is better.

Also do you think that I should focus more on the gpu than the cpu and so get a more powerful gpu
Thanks for all your help so far

That depends solely on YOUR needs my friend. It is up to you to decide between better editing or gaming performance .

I think the 1700 might just be out of my price range. But if you have any parts lists that could fit in my price range and have the 1700, they are more than welcome.
Thanks

Probably better editing

Wow thanks looks good

 

[elliottboy]

Would the rx 560 be better or the gtx 1050ti for video editing (both 4gb versions)?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

the radeon cards were always better for video editing even though u have cuda acceleration. just shows better optimisation/support for the native opencl framework.

 

[elliottboy]

Could having a ryzen 7 1700 with a gtx 1050ti bottle neck the cpu.

 

[elliottboy]

DaVinci is my preferred editing software.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

No, the 1700 won't bottleneck the 1050ti.

 

[elliottboy]

So I’m guessing the 1700 won’t bottleneck the rx 560
Sorry I’m not sure about how bottlenecking works and I know that it’s for another thread.
Thanks for your help

 

[Lucky_SLS]

bottleneck depends on the resource usage. some games are focussed on single threaded like dota and cs go and wont pressure the cpu at all. but some games like assasins creed origins and ashes of singularity use many cores and have a much higher cpu usage.

regarding gpu, it scales with resolution and graphics settings.

in video editing, particle effects and some ray tracing in recent software versions make use of gpu. lightning effects also use gpu primarily. other than that, its cpu all the way. so depending on ur video, u might see 25% to even 100% gpu usage while 98% of the time, ur cpu usage will be above 80%.

Actually, it would be the other way around. The rx560 would bottlenck the 1700

 

[madmatt30]

I'd look at a ryzen 1600 & 1050ti personally.

Actually, it would be the other way around. The rx560 would bottlenck the 1700

so would this reduce the ability of the 1700 if i used the rx 560

No, it would just not work at its full potential while gaming. It is fine for editing though...

 

[madmatt30]

You honestly don't need the ryzen 1700 .

Take the 1600 & spend the saving on a better gpu & ssd as I've suggested.

They will benefit you way more than 2 extra cores/4 extra threads that it's doubtful youll ever use to any great extent.

What sort of spec would you suggest could you make a parts list for me.
