Hi!
I bought a PC 3 years ago with the next components:
Processor: Intel core I5-3450 3,10GHZ S1155 6MB TR
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-D2H-USB3
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA3
RAM: Kingston DDR3 8GB (PC1600 Hyperxblu CL10 OEM)
Graphics Card:Gigabyte GTX 650 2GB DDR5
Case: COOLBOX f12 ECO
Power suply: ATX 500W
I use it for professional video editing.
So far I've just edited Full HD (1080p), but I'm thinking about start editing video also 2'7k and 4k, but mainly I'm gonna use it for Full HD
I'd like to upgrade some of the components to get a better performance because nowadays sometimes it's very frustrating to edit because the PC goes so slowly (above all using effects)
I've thought about upgrade the next things:
- RAM (from 8G to 16GB)
- At least having 3 disks: SSD Samsung Evo 250 GB (OS, softwares, scratch disk), HDD 1TB (my current HDD, for storage) and another SSD or HDD (for renders and exportation)
- Motherboard: I don't know if it'd be convenient to change it, because my current motherboard doesn't support the technology SATA 3 (and then it's not gonna be able to get the maximum performance from the SSD)
And I have many doubts about if I should upgrade my GPU, or if upgrading the RAM, the motherboard and having 3disks would be enough.
Also, do you think I should upgrade my CPU from i5 to i7?
My budget it's not very high, about 450€
I'd really appreciate any tip, thanks in advance!
