Question Video Editing/Gaming PC/Workstation

[JockLafleur]

Fellas, Lady Fellas:

I'm looking to build a solid video editing/gaming pc, and everyday life. My editing software is adobe premiere pro. I'd like to make it as upgradable as possible. My budget is around $1200 USD, but I'd consider saving more if totally necessary. $1200 is a start and I'd invest as I went on.

If anyone has some build suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

can wait till ryzen 3000 series ?

 

[JockLafleur]

Hellfire, thanks so much. From the little I know, this seems like a really good build! Would the CPU be comparable with ryzen 3000?

Lucky that's a good question! I dont know. The last thing I'd want to do is spend 300 on a CPU just to have the price go down by half 3 months later.

Read Third-Gen Ryzen is Coming segment in this post : https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-7nm-cpu-radeon,38399.html

The X570 mobo will come with pcie 4.0 support. Ryzen 3000 and X570 announcements are rumored to take place at computex 2019 in May.

3000 will be better ofcourse. The die shrink and clock bump routine will fetch major performance boost.
But, there is that waiting factor and price uncertainty. So, if you can wait a bit and prepared for a bit of budget flexibility, then 3000 would be supreme.
