Editing pc build.

[GAGAN 55]

Hello everyone, i am planning to build a second pc strictly for editing purposes because i have a old gaming pc which is sufficient for the time being. I already have a gpu (gtx 1080) and power supply(corsair cx650m) and want to buy another components (cpu, mobo, ram, hdd+ssd, case etc). I will mainly work with the following softwares:
1. Photoshop
2. After effects
3. Premiere
4. Illustrator
5. Indesign
6. Fusion
7. Final cut pro x

My budget is around $700-800 but can stretch out only a little bit because parts are already very expensive in india.

Waiting for an reply and thank you

That is an excellent foundation for your needs. In the future you can add a video card which some of your programs can use to expedite jobs.

The 8-core 1700 is very well equipped for the rigors of editing. I was going to settle and offer the 1600 but more cores = better efficiency which means quicker productivity job times. That may have allowed for a WD now but I feel that speed trumps additional storage where a foundation is concerned. Additional storage can be added later.

I chose that board because the CPU will be routinely getting a pretty good workout which is going to result in higher temps. That motherboard has additional passive heatsink where needed which means cooler board temps. Add in Indian summers and those heatsinks are a welcome addition.

The fully modular PSU means less wires which means a neater and less cluttered case which helps with airflow.

Sorry i forgot to mention but i don't need an operating system also i already have a semi modular power supplySo, where can i use that extra money?
Also if possible an atx motherboard will be better (preferrably asus) but its just my personal preference not necessary.

Changed to an Asus ATX board.

Faster memory.

Doubled storage and switched from an SSD to an M.2 drive. The M.2 drive will increase speed a little more. Wouldn't notice any difference in gaming but this is an editing rig.

And came in under budget 😀

Thats pretty good.
A tip, for overclocking Asrock usually is better.
But I mean, Asus you cant go wrong as well.

Thanx for the suggestions everyone i will go with this build then.

Just out of curiosity, is there any point in getting the 1700x over the 1700?
Also is there any point in getting the asus crosshair vi motherboard? And which cpu cooler should i get air vs liquid? ( personally i prefer corsair because of their customer service)

Thanx and sorry for asking so many questions.

One last thing just out of curiosity, is there any point in getting the 1700x over the 1700?

With that board I say no. The 1700x is aimed at those who are looking for a higher clock and/or possibly those looking to apply a higher OC with an aftermarket cooler installed. I don't see the extra cost for the CPU and aftermarket cooler justifying the investment. The user can still apply an OC to the 1700. The final speed depends on the CPU's microscopic variances, its cooling solution as well as the user's OC skills.

The 1700X doesn't include a cooler which means the user has to invest in an aftermarket cooler.

I will still have to buy a after market cooler because of the indian summer. Because even with my h100i on my i7 4790k it idles at around 46-50 degrees.

Thank you
