For our Czech non-profit (home office), I must get a new video editing PC for making simple and short event and education video's, and also go through 10 years of video-camera and mobile phone footage and make them into something nice.
Our non-profit budget is very limited; the z790 setup I first thought (Asus ProArt MB and RTX 4070 TI is far over budget and also serious overkill for my needs. So I switched to a B760 build plan and would appreciate some comments and advice.
Beware: I am not into gaming that much, certainly nothing heavy, quick or multi-player real time.
Proposed build (nothing bought yet)
Format: ATX (I have a case and space is no problem; noisy fans are)
MB: ASROCK B760 PRO RS
CPU: i514600K
GPU: Intel Arc B850 Limited Edition (in this price range, the only alternative is nvidea 4060)
Ram: 32 GB DDR5
OS drive: a 250 GB OS SSD (my current Samsung 870 EVO sata SSD)
Project/work drive: a 1 TB NVMe SSD drive
Cache drive: 500 GB or 1 TB NMVe SSD drive
Archive-backup drive: my current few months old WD 4TB HDD
Case: if possible, my old ATX Coolmaster Silencio 550 silent case with hot-swap HHD bay. PSU: my 850W, or a new one if I need better connectors.
Cooler: I probably need a new cooler for the Intel i5.
Is this a capable rig for what I need?
Spending $ 50 extra on something that gives a significant advantage (like a better MB) is no problem. However, spending $ 100 or more on, for example, i7 or better graphic card which for me in real-live situation does not give a significant advantage is out. Maybe somebody doing professional editing work or heavy 4K can use the more expensive components, but is it really necessary for my work load?
Any advice - comment is appreciated. Please remember I am in the Czech Republic, so links to non-EU websites can be useful for specs comparison, but not for price offers etc.
