Video editing rig

[drip50291]

My friend wants a video editing rig that can edit gopro 1080p videos for around $1000 no more. I was thinking about going AMD A-Series crossfired with an HD7000 series. Any good suggestions for a CPU/GPU combo at this price point?

You can build an amd 8350 system with amd 7850 for less than 1000.oo and it will do great at video editing . Asus sabertooth 990 board

Is this only for video editing

An 8350 would be great for this job.

Yes, only for video editing. I might go with an i5-3750/660Ti. Does anyone know of any good comparison benchmarks on this topic?

If im not mistaken extra cores on amd will be better than i5 for vid editing unless u want to play games as well?

 

[Z1NONLY]

An i5 won't be "bad" at video editing, but the 8350 will be better.

Yeah go with the 8350 and a cheap GPU like a 7750 if you're not gaming.
