I've been asking a lot of questions lately, so I'm sorry to anyone who's already seen my other questions. But I need an answer.
I'm a uni student, and a large part of my course requires me to be handling quite heavy video workloads. I've decided to build a PC (God help me) because I've heard it's the most cost-effective way to get a great performing computer for great value. Only thing is I have no idea where to start! I've seen some suggestions from that PCPartPicker website but none of the recommended builds I've seen are exactly what I want. Which is my fault because I've been unclear in my previous questions. So here's precisely what I'd like with my build:
- Handling potentially heavy amounts of video data (mostly 1080p, but potentially 4K video). I just want a smooth, uninterrupted editing experience with decent rendering times.
- The ability to do some moderate gaming. I'm not a heavy gamer, however I've recently found interest in playing Fortnite, so if the PC could handle that fairly smoothly that would also be great.
- I'm willing to spend roughly about $1300 AU (emphasis on the AU haha). If the build comes up less than that, awesome. If the build comes up as slightly more, I should be able to accommodate so long as it isn't too extravagant.
- I'd like the builds OS to run Windows 10 Home 64bit.
- Also will the desktop need a cooler? I've tried selecting certain ones but they're apparently not compatible with the motherboard?
- This is just for the Tower I'm talking about. I've already sorted out a Keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.
I would truly appreciate your best recommendation of build for my needs!
