[SOLVED] New Ryzen build for 4K video editing & gaming

[producedbymorgan]

Hi all,
I’m looking to build my first PC mainly for 4K video editing with some gaming capabilities (ability to run recent games at 1080p and average settings).
I want to make sure I pick compatible components with the highest possible performance for my budget (around 1500 USD).
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Well under your budget (doesn't include a copy of Windows but you can either run windows without a license with minor restrictions to appearance and a watermark or buy a cheap OEM key). YLeft you room that you could also jump up to a Ryzen 3900X but I would recommend a X570 motherboard for that. Or you could get a better GPU, add additional SSD storage etc.
