$600ish PC Build - Video Editing (First Build - Need Feedback on my current parts list)

[kirkkimsey]

So I have a $600 ballpark budget to build a video editing machine.

My current parts list will be listed below, I do not need to worry about hard drives as I will be pulling them from another computer.

Please tell me what my build is missing, where I could possibly save money or what I should spend more money on to put me in a better position for future upgrades.

I would like to keep the build as physically small as possible as I will need to travel with it from time to time.

Thanks!

Hi kirkkimsey,

The issue here is the power supply. Don't buy VS series for a gaming/ working build.
Go with CX series or seasonic one's.

If video editing only, gpu is not that important, CPU power is. Major issue with your build is unnecessary 3rd party cooler and poor quality psu. My edits after $50 rebates:

single stick ram is a no no for Ryzen, hinder performance too much.
B450 is better
no need for 1050
that case is poor quality
550 psu is better to have
why that sound card?

I simply thought I needed a sound card - Im completely new to this,

 

[vapour]

any modern motherboards has integrated sound card already
Anything you don't like with my list? 1700 is roughly 33% more powerful and better to have.

I'm pretty content with your answer - My only question would be if its possible to go smaller in total size of pc with the same specs?

have to use an gaming itx case. when you gp small they start using sff power supply there small and costly. some cases are small that you cant use full size gpu. for small size look at micro and itx cases that use full size power supply there more money then your look at on that cheap case.
