4K Video Editing Build

[ianjenaro]

Hi,

Would this build be perfect for 4k video editing using Premiere Pro?
After a few Youtube PC build recommendations, I chosen these parts.

I'll be making a switch from Macbook Pro to PC and don't want to break the bank.
If possible suggest any changes to reduce the price, to around £1000.

You are asking people to somehow slice 20% of the price off while suggesting the 'perfect' spec for Premiere Pro editing, 4k footage. That's, how to say it, a little ambitious

Might help to ask for for a £1000 video editing spec, and people will suggest the best they can for the money.

Or you could ask if there are any better specs for the same price.

For option 2, you could go for:

FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window)
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.4GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4)

Better case for improved airflow.
Less powerful GPU tradeoff for better CPU.
More budget-friendly SSD
drop mobo to B450 for cost - B450 is fine
Faster RAM
better CPU cooler to help with keeping frequencies up during heavy load

It's only worth having the 1TB storage drive be an SSD if you are going to be using it for scratch/cache/project files etc. If it's just to archive finished projects to or for video playback, an HDD is just as good and much cheaper.

Thank you for the suggestion Oussebon.

Yeah, I wasn't that clear with my requests
Let's go for better spec 4K Video Editing PC for the same price.

With basic knowledge 😅
Yes, I opted for SSD 1st storage drive for cache/project files

With PSU, going down from 550W to 450W be alright? I may add more RAM in the future.
