Hi everyone.
Im a Videographer and video editor Doing mostly short videos for social media.
Im looking to buy a new system OR upgrade my current one.
My current PC was assembled about 3 years ago for light gaming and not video editing in mind,
but that's how things went and it became my main machine, but it not doing very well.
Im using davinchi resolve Studio, some fusion effect. Files are at maximum 4k h.265 4:4:2, but uselly 1080,h.264.
So...ill right down my current build and then explain my thoughts.
CPU: ryzen 3400g
Motherboard: Asus prime b450m-a
GPU: rx 570 4gb mini
8x2 gb 3200 ram
1tb m.2 ssd
corsair 450w psu
Generic case
The first path: Upgrading the current build.
because this build already exist i can get a powerful gpu, 3070\ti. which means ill need to upgrade my psu also to 750W.
from my current research i understand that the most powerful cpu i can put on this board is ryzen 5600x.
also add another 2x8 ram sticks for 32 gb ram. problem with this build is it will be at its maximum upgrades.
The second path: New Intel Build
the new 12th gen intel looks great and future proof.
i can get for the same price a better mobo with usb-c (which is important to me), better case.
cpu with 10-12 cores as opposed to 6.
faster ram.
but the problem is ill have to keep my rx570 and in the future get a better gpu.
what would you say is the better option?
i want to pc to last for 4-5 years.
very important to me that the pc will not be Overkill for my use.
sorry for long post and thank you
