Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and offering any assistance/help. I've had the same rig I built for gaming for about 8 years now with small upgrades here, and there. Recently I started a YouTube Channel, and mostly shoot in 1080p, but want to start doing more 4k. My build cant cut it for using any video editing software without preview being almost impossible to edit. Especially on larger projects. So I want to either build or buy a new PC as a result. Its time. However, I've been out of the game so long I dont know where to even start. Matter of fact I'm clueless.
I've toyed with the ideas of getting a prebuilt and saving myself some time, and maybe money. But I know that you can usually get better components and prices by building. I'm option to either option to be honest.
My Budget would be around $1300.00 Max. Maybe more if I'm able to finance..
I do like to casually game, but havent been doing much of it last 2 years. That's probably because my system can't run newer games, or at least in good performance killing the vibe. My main reason for the new build would be for video editing but this isnt like a profession. More less something as a side hobby, but would like a have a much easier experience to edit without performance issues.
Outside of Gaming, and video editing, the PC would just be my typically goto Machine for browsing, social networking, and some minor graphic design. Mainly Photoshop types.
If you need more information i'll be happy to answer anymore questions. I understand and looked at other posts similar to mine, but realize its hard to give advise without knowing what somebody is after in order to tailer a recommendation to them. So if I have broken any rules by this post I apologize in advance.
So to wrap up looking for a good intermediate build for both 4k Video editing, and side gaming now and then. budget around 1300 max. If you feel i can get away with less and lower to 1k than awesome!! Prebuilt was what I was looking at, but if its hands down better to part out I'm open to it.
I greatly and anxiously look forward to any advice or help.
