To all the commenters saying that $1000 is not a budget PC, parts are getting more expensive and editing 4K video takes slightly more expensive parts. Get used to it. If you had the money to buy a 4K camera then you should have done the research(which is what this video is trying to give people) on what kind of PC you need to edit in that resolution. If you cant afford a PC like this then do more research into what you can get away with, with worse performance, for editing in 4K. This video is to show good performance without spending even more money. If they had left the RTX 2060 in the config it would have been even more. And yes $1000 is pretty low budget for 4K editing like some other(intelligent) commenters have pointed out.
I can't believe people were expecting a PC with an FX Series Chip and an RX290 to process 4k video. Like, if you're processing 4k, you need a halfway decent rig. Like, that's just how it is. At least some people Understand it.
Exactly. No point in having a PC w/ ANY RGB unless there's a utilitarian function for it, even for gamers. I still don't understand why anyone would want RGB except for showing it off to their friends.
RGB isn't actually needed for a gaming PC, in fact PC's have been killed by it and rgb doesn't mean gaming all it means is your after looks, having reliable parts and powerful components means gaming or editing rig
YES! I've been waiting for this video for years. Thank you Linus. I built my first computer at age 16 using ltt and ncix videos as guides. Now, 6 years later, I'm working towards being a professional video editor. Thanks again, you changed my life!
If you follow the same setup then consider changing the GPU to 1660 instead of 1650 to get the new Turing NVENC instead of Volta NVENC, to get better performance. 😁
I would love to see an up to date budget audio production build. I know there a lot of producers and engineers looking to be able to use as many plugins as their heart desires but then the cpu gets bogged down and have to start choosing to do something else or have to render audio a million times before getting to the final product. Which also makes edits a bit of a nightmare because if you decide you want to go back and change the settings on a plugin you've previously used you can't because you've already rendered the audio. This is not even thinking about if you want to change your midi sequence your starting from square one.
And of a general 3D (game art, short film content) and 2D (design, illustration) artist. Or... well, this machine already fits... I'd prolly add 16GB more RAM, maybe jump to 3700x (more cores/threads for Blender Cycles), and maybe go for a 2060 or 1660, as we use quite many apps GPU accelerated, and.... well, faster, as then the GPU render is faster... more memory, as so u can fit larger and more complex scenes in Blender Cycles instead of assuming to render those scenes in CPU. Like apps for real time 3D painting FX and stuff, or digital painting apps that mimic traditional media heavily using the GPU... the size of the canvas is often limited by the GPU. While other painting tools need the fastest CPU they can find... in image editing, u have Photoshop that benefit mostly from the single core maximum clock and other like Afinity Photo that besides benefiting from high clock, do much of a better use of many cores. It should be a decision totally depending on your software. The problem comes when the freelancer profile is very varied. Then , the machine's gotta be really balanced ,an all-rounder champion, even if needing to asume some compromises. For CAD, doing so much wireframe stuff on the viewport, I'd get a Quadro or the like....

Even though it would cost a little bit more, I'd recommend going just a little more with 32GB of RAM, 16GB should be your absolute MINIMUM. Many programs, especially adobe, store all their cache on the RAM, and therefore it's a lot faster to playback videos with more RAM. The more space you have to store RAM playback the less time you have to worry about it rendering again.
@@eldelbarrio2 I guess you don't want to go for the intel 660p if you want to use it as a scrub drive, since you'll hit the 40GB cache more often, so you would be forced to get another SSD with MLC or TLC. Then the premium for a non-QLC drive starts to make sense.

WoW. Just finished watching this on 06-10-2022. I built my Editing PC in my RV at a campground in Florida about 2 yrs ago. Never seen this until today but use all the same parts basically but the 2060 super NVIDIA card instead and the TX 850 power supply, 32 Gigs ram. Same board, same processor, Etc. I edit 4k and UHD 1080 with no problems using Davinci Resolve 18, sometimes Kdenlive/Open Shot depends on what I am doing. Also, Gimp, and other GNU/LINUX software when needed. I switch between Deepin 20.5 and Linux Mint 20.2, Zorin Os. They're All installed on same computer on different drives. 1 m.2 500 Gig, 1 Samsung 500 Gig SSD, 5 Hard drives, 2- 3 TB, 3- 1 TB. and 40-inch/30-inch 4K TV screens. 2 screen editor set-up. This is a fun set-up. I use on the road in my Class C and 30' camper. Oh yeah, Along with the T-Mobile Hotspot. Great video, thanks Linus
I literally started watching your channel like a month ago because I was curious as to what I would need to build my own editing pc. I got hooked by your videos on gaming pc’s but I still get confused sometimes because I’m new to the custom PC world. Thanks for everything you’ve taught me and all the superfly content!
Micro center based on prices, and price drops can now give a much better system. Check it out. Far superior system for $650. 2700x (8 core 16 thread) - $159 (Gigabyte b450 aorus m)motherboard with $30 discount from buying it with cpu - $52 (G skill 16gb of 3200 mhz ram) - $64 powersupply - 50 gpu - 220 (1660 super) case - 50 ssd 25 (for boot and such) 25 for a 500-1tb drive 650 total. And it's far more powerful than what he just built
David Boggs it’s not that much more powerful. The 3600 trades blows with the 2700 because of its superior IPC. Plus Linus’s pc has a 3TB HDD with a 500GB NVME.
David Boggs the m2 makes a huge difference for OS/import export speed. And they will/ already? make 2nd gen EOL so theres no point linus would make a video that wont be useful in a few months.
with the m2 mac mini being cheaper and an m1 macbook air being like 900€ after tax, they are seriously good options. the m2 with the new media decoder/encoder engine esp.
Yes and no. The diffrence is just that Ryzen rlly utilises fast RAM while intel just doesnt. Ryzen chips dont "hate" slow ram its just that they get a fat power boost with faster ram. While intel chips just work with any ram at with near zero diffrence in power.
@@roarbahamut9866 Uh Intel benefits greatly from RAM just like Ryzen, it's just not as large of an impact. For some reason people love to say Intel doesn't benefit from fast RAM Everything benefits from fast RAM It gives a nice boost to 1% and 0.1% FPS
No. Intel does not need fast RAM as much as AMD does but still benefits from it. Intels memory and cache structure is faster then ryzens even with slower RAM.
@@mariodrv it's a subjective matter, and it also behaves differently. Intel usually gains are consistent with RAM speed and i would say substancial, but it doesn't rely that heavily on timings. AMD ryzen first and second gen gains are crazy, but 3200-3400 with tight timings, and super tight subtimings it's pretty much the limit. Ryzen 3000, it depends on the CPU, because the amount of cache on them changes the gains from the RAM. However it doesn't really care so much anymore about timings and it tops out at 3600-3800. A 3900x will barely get any benefit. A 3600/x will boost similar with Intel's.
So, out to all you editors out there!! You don't need a 3-5k USD MAC to edit videos!!! Just get this sub 1000 USD budget video editing PC does!!! A bargain PC with quality parts and totally awesome performance!!
@Joshua Zacek To those people, budget does not seem to apply as they default to the very expensive Apple route! This build is for all people that do not default on the Apple route, and there are many of them! Perhaps someone on the Apple route might even gain insight after seeing this build and consider other options, such as a cost-effective, efficient build as this ^^
@@mokubakaiba1751 For that is more about the skills... At least starting from a decent setup. It depends on what you need to do. If are editing 8k, and need to do a lot of FX, you will need a higher machine. But must be the gigs and requirements what impose the system. And Apple does this overpricing which is particularly nasty when you are needing a machine more in the extreme side of performance (and video, together with game art - I've done both- is among the fields needing more powerful hardware). If a regular Apple machine (that said, mac minis ain't that expensive and have some punch, they're stupidly underrated even by mac users, but that's another conversation) for the average Jane/Joe browsing and doing their office work is already too expensive compared to a PC, in the case of professional tools the difference goes to the roof. I'd say indeed to me makes _today_ more sense even than ever that pros go the PC route for this very reason. A PC well configured in the hands of an at least very slightly computer savvy (with this I mean just a person with common sense and almost zero nerdy skills with hardware) person is just as efficient if not more than a mac. A cross fade is done just the same with both brands, u only need to configure well your machine. If your editing tool does more GPU rendering, well, then put the accent in GPU, if is more CPU, then there u have it, (and ryzen is killing it with their new gen in terms of IPC and number of cores in price/performance!) and also put more ram and both fast and large storage solutions (with this I only mean a well priced, affordable small SSD and a regular cheapo seagate barracuda 7200 rpm of the TBs u'd need). In this field is way more expensive to go Apple because as you go needing more advanced hardware the price increases almost exponentially. I've been editing video since the 90s, and we made crazy complex stuff there with very low end, arcane PC solutions. Today any even low end office crap would beat those at the times. So... Yeah, for any one mounting such a system, you don't need a mac at all, but mount each piece of hardware with enough thought and evolve the machine as your gigs might require. Final Cut is not "better" than Davinci Resolve (and its Fusion of an After Effects-like solution is rather useful) or Premiere. Meaning, most projects, specially in youtube channels (is not really complex editing, not even in the best folks around in it... it's still basic editing! I love how people wow some basic stuff... but that's nice) which is what has made this growing passion about video editing quite larger than it was ever before for the masses. This is good! Really good. I noticed it some years ago. Suddenly, sth I'd only have as part of my job at companies was... "trendy". I truly love that. I hope is not just some sort of fashion and people keeps seeing the value in video editing (and the effort/skills it takes!!). A lot of the friends who started back in the 80s / 90s, mounting their studio (I did not go mega pro video editing-ONLY like most of them, I swapped between fields) they did use PCs, majorly, as they'd have to concentrate all budget in specialized devices and hardware besides the PC. Cameras at professional level were super expensive. In the beginning u had to purchase mixing tables (u kno, that thingy with tons of rotating disks in it! lol... the times.... we were working with that and cathodic tubes screens (arcane TVs, actually), pretty damaging eyesight and all... ). U could do GREAT stuff with all that crap. So, yeah, don't go for a Mac Pro just 'cause some people STILL insist in that it's "the way" (many of those don't have a freaking clue). There's not a single way anymore (since decades, actually).
Hey Linus, please make a video also on PC building for heavy music or orchestral music production using a lot of vst's liberaries like kontakt in real time.
Hey, thanks for this video. It helped me write one of my Uni assignments - building (on paper) a 4k editing PC with a £2500 budget. I change some of the components, but it stayed mostly the same. Cheers guys! By the way, those parts 2 years later cost almost all of the budget for the assignment! Yikes! I just hope my rig continues to work. I don't feel like giving money to scalpers.
@@nainesh829 I "used" Asus GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB DUAL EVO OC, Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB and IronWolf NAS 8 TB 3.5" 7200RPM. I also added LG 32UN880-B 31.5p IPS UHD 4K monitor
I've done this, a £1000 is about the lowest budget you need for 4k editing. I still need to upgrade the Nvidia graphics card for £480 so realistically you need £1500.00 budget. I have a two-monitor screen system running an i7 processor quad core, and 32gb ram, oh and you will need £400.00 per year to pay for the Adobe package that includes Premiere Pro editing software, although you can get Davinci resolve at a one of price between £200/£300, so you now really need £2000.00 for editing. in realistic terms. also extra if you buy external storage drives, and you may need to upgrade your PC's power supply from 400 watts to at least 750 watts to run the extra wattage your new graphics card is going to use.
"No one wants to watch The Bourne Identity starring Brandon's dog"............Hell yeah we do! Sounds a lot more entertaining than the last season of Game of Thrones.
I'm almost done with my rig; Gonna solidify my hardware list using this guide. I'm gonna make sure to give credit to Linus and family on my 1st content. Keep safe and stay blessed.
Where’d you see the a7sii? There’s a blackmagic pocket 4K or 6k, canon (probably c200), red weapon helium, and I’m assuming a second red weapon helium that they’re filming on
I would love to see more budget workstation videos like this😊. ps - I'm a hand drawn animator that works in 4k h264 and working at a higher res also helps a great deal at least in my case when drawing and the smoothness is absolutely essential when working on my timing.
I like these sponsored videos that fit with the theme of the overal video. Makes the sponsor way less annoying and actually worth looking at their product instead of skipping ahead.
@@mysteiige lol yes please it's welcomed as long as AMD doesn't pull another intel and not release the held back performance until nvidia drops prices!. AMD is already on the panther to the dark side!
Maybe a few people even recognize the "Never watch without perspective" - comments by now. Honestly? Even I have to say 1.000 for a 4k video editing work station is not too bad. If you do this as a living, you have to consider it as a tool or appliance. The camera will have been much more, typically. Hell specific single shoots can exceed that budget, depending on type of expenses. This nowadays has to count as budget. I don't like it much either, but the age of 500€ PCs are over. Sure it is still possible. But not realistic, enjoyable, feasible. Neither for an editing rig nor for a gaming station, if you consider it a heavy hobby. 1.000 Bucks for a Build today is kind of the sweet spot for value as in price/performance actually. Though it is debatable, if peripherals should be in or outside that budget, imo.
I think some of us would really appreciate a Best Music Production Rig, since it's pretty much a thing now! A CPU based on real time buffer performance.. What does Linus suggest? Even for a budget rig??
Honestly, with some of the chips I have seen from intel, I would recommend an an i5 processor from the last couple generations, at least 16GB ram, a 16xx series graphics card or better, a power supply to run it, an ssd (nvme, or even sata) for storage, and whatever motherboard will run all that. Something to note: it may be more worth it to look into ryzen's side of things, as they usually are cheaper, and from what I have seen can run better in some cases as opposed to its Intel counterpart. Honestly, building for what you are asking about, just treat it like you want to build a decent budget gaming computer. It doesn't look a whole lot different.
Can you make the same kinda video for Music Production too??? We also have a lot of samples and projects that we have to save and a back up drive about that too will be great. Music Producer depends mostly on Single core performance but it's becoming multithreaded. Samples and projects do take up space and losing that is also risky. It also requires a lot of ram to open up many plugins in the project. It's a request can you make a video that shows a build for Music producers on a budget like this. It would be really helpful and informative.
@@timothyivan2427 Ohhh yes!! FL Studio user still need Windows to use all functionality of the DAW. And not everyone can own a Apple computer. And when you are on a budget then it's hardly impossible so I think windows might be a good option for most of the users. If you are a Dolby Engineer that uses Pro Tools then you might not be on a Budget.
In my experience, the trick to a great music production machine is FAST I/O, plenty cores/treads, and FAST memory and storage. Graphics card really doesn't help much with music production because there's hardly any visual rendering going on unless your DAW has a video viewer so you can sync the music to visuals. Even then, just make sure you have designated graphics. This same build that Linus did here is a great starting point, you just don't need quite as much memory since music files don't take up nearly as much space as video.
I just consulted someone last week for a budget 4k video editing PC. $700 was their budget and the Ryzen 5 2600 was actually quite impressive for the price.
*These are 80% My Specs. I have an RTX 2060 though, but he said it was more powerful that what they used in the video and also didn't get used up too much like the 1650 would do! I have AMD Ryzen 5 3600, the same one. 16 GB DDR4 RAM (same as video) BUT Corsair Vengeance LPX. Talking of Motherboard, I have ASUS TUF B450-M (same as video) Pro Gaming Motherboard. Power Supply Is Corsair VS550w , which is enough to run an RTX 2060*
So much tech in one video. You dont want to be watching this if all you want is to understand what kinda machine to use for editing as a workstation. hahah. But if you know a little about tech this is an incredibly detailed and awesome video
I noticed you mentioned the rtx 2060. I have a computer with a gtx 1080 and found a way to cause my premiere pro cs5 software to recognize it for the mercury engine and the difference was astonishing. (I have an i7 6700k chip clocked at 4g) Just wonder if it can be made to recognize the rtx 2060 since both appear to be cuda. Just curious if you know since I am about to build a new computer using an i9 9900k and would like to use the 2060 if the same boost in performance could be recognized. Thanks for any help!
Premiere pro works with a majority of nvidia cards by default, including the 2060. Just make sure you go into preferences and switch on “hardware acceleration (CUDA)”
If you're talking about a budget build for editing 4K video, I think it's safe to say that the footage is shot in 4K. You might deliver in 4K or 1080p. My Panasonic G85 shoots in UHD 8-bit 4:2:0 at 100 Mbps. I might get an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, and that camera can shoot in DCI4K 8-bit 4:2:0 at up to 237 mbps. A Panasonic GH5 can shoot in DCI4K 10-bit 4:2:2 All-I up to 400 Mbps. That's probably as far as you might want to push it for a "budget" build because then you really start getting into higher-end gear. The Panasonic S1H can shoot 6K, but that's a $4,000 camera body. Is that really "budget?" The BMPCC 6K is $2,500, or maaaaaybe that counts as "budget," but even that is pushing it. If you are shooting above DCI4K, then I think we get out of budget editing build range and into something more premium.
1650S (super) on DDR6 with "HEVC B Frame support" is a little better choice for rendering (plex, encoding, etc) me than version 1650 on DDR5. THX for video ;)
maybe a little help from one of you computer savy guys. i dont edit in 4k but at times i do edit very involved videos with alot of graphics, txt, charts, animations, ect and its very hard on my cpu as it maxes out and my new graphics card doesn't seem to help much. i have a stock dell I5 8400 with 12gb of ram for reference. only gets about 12 mins in with a very stacked timeline and then it starts crashing the software. i need 30+ mins of a very stacked up timeline. would this guys build work for my need even though im not doing 4K? just 1080 60fps any advice is appreciated!
Have you watched the task manager to see what's going on while you're editing? If the program is crashing after a while your system could be running out of memory. In that case more RAM might do the trick :)
I think for a WORK computer $1000 is reasonable, for a hobbiest then yes it may be a little high I'd stick with the ryzen 3600 and look at going 2nd hand on gpu and upgrade it later if you feel you need it
To all the commenters saying that $1000 is not a budget PC, parts are getting more expensive and editing 4K video takes slightly more expensive parts. Get used to it. If you had the money to buy a 4K camera then you should have done the research(which is what this video is trying to give people) on what kind of PC you need to edit in that resolution. If you cant afford a PC like this then do more research into what you can get away with, with worse performance, for editing in 4K.

WoW. Just finished watching this on 06-10-2022. I built my Editing PC in my RV at a campground in Florida about 2 yrs ago. Never seen this until today but use all the same parts basically but the 2060 super NVIDIA card instead and the TX 850 power supply, 32 Gigs ram. Same board, same processor, Etc. I edit 4k and UHD 1080 with no problems using Davinci Resolve 18, sometimes Kdenlive/Open Shot depends on what I am doing. Also, Gimp, and other GNU/LINUX software when needed. I switch between Deepin 20.5 and Linux Mint 20.2, Zorin Os. They're All installed on same computer on different drives. 1 m.2 500 Gig, 1 Samsung 500 Gig SSD, 5 Hard drives, 2- 3 TB, 3- 1 TB. and 40-inch/30-inch 4K TV screens. 2 screen editor set-up. This is a fun set-up. I use on the road in my Class C and 30' camper. Oh yeah, Along with the T-Mobile Hotspot. Great video, thanks Linus

2700x (8 core 16 thread) - $159

ssd 25 (for boot and such)
25 for a 500-1tb drive
650 total.
And it's far more powerful than what he just built
David Boggs it’s not that much more powerful. The 3600 trades blows with the 2700 because of its superior IPC.
Plus Linus’s pc has a 3TB HDD with a 500GB NVME.
David Boggs the m2 makes a huge difference for OS/import export speed. And they will/ already? make 2nd gen EOL so theres no point linus would make a video that wont be useful in a few months.
I’d love to see this go head to head with the M1 Mac mini.
with the m2 mac mini being cheaper and an m1 macbook air being like 900€ after tax, they are seriously good options. the m2 with the new media decoder/encoder engine esp.

In 2019 im starting to think that its not that ryzen doesnt like slow ram but its that intel doesnt like fast ram
Yes and no. The diffrence is just that Ryzen rlly utilises fast RAM while intel just doesnt. Ryzen chips dont "hate" slow ram its just that they get a fat power boost with faster ram. While intel chips just work with any ram at with near zero diffrence in power.
@@roarbahamut9866 you just said exactly what i said but long winded
@@roarbahamut9866 Uh
Intel benefits greatly from RAM just like Ryzen, it's just not as large of an impact. For some reason people love to say Intel doesn't benefit from fast RAM
Everything benefits from fast RAM
It gives a nice boost to 1% and 0.1% FPS
No. Intel does not need fast RAM as much as AMD does but still benefits from it.
Intels memory and cache structure is faster then ryzens even with slower RAM.
@@mariodrv it's a subjective matter, and it also behaves differently. Intel usually gains are consistent with RAM speed and i would say substancial, but it doesn't rely that heavily on timings.
AMD ryzen first and second gen gains are crazy, but 3200-3400 with tight timings, and super tight subtimings it's pretty much the limit.
Ryzen 3000, it depends on the CPU, because the amount of cache on them changes the gains from the RAM. However it doesn't really care so much anymore about timings and it tops out at 3600-3800. A 3900x will barely get any benefit. A 3600/x will boost similar with Intel's.
The editing on this video is superb. Awesome work everyone who put effort into this video.
The editing is awful. That gpu graph of amd cards vs rtx cards is completely irrelevant to the video.

So, out to all you editors out there!! You don't need a 3-5k USD MAC to edit videos!!! Just get this sub 1000 USD budget video editing PC does!!! A bargain PC with quality parts and totally awesome performance!!
And use Davinci Resolve for free
@Joshua Zacek To those people, budget does not seem to apply as they default to the very expensive Apple route! This build is for all people that do not default on the Apple route, and there are many of them! Perhaps someone on the Apple route might even gain insight after seeing this build and consider other options, such as a cost-effective, efficient build as this ^^
@@MiguelY22 no true 4k output in the free version, or have they changed that ?
@@mokubakaiba1751 For that is more about the skills... At least starting from a decent setup. It depends on what you need to do. If are editing 8k, and need to do a lot of FX, you will need a higher machine. But must be the gigs and requirements what impose the system. And Apple does this overpricing which is particularly nasty when you are needing a machine more in the extreme side of performance (and video, together with game art - I've done both- is among the fields needing more powerful hardware). If a regular Apple machine (that said, mac minis ain't that expensive and have some punch, they're stupidly underrated even by mac users, but that's another conversation) for the average Jane/Joe browsing and doing their office work is already too expensive compared to a PC, in the case of professional tools the difference goes to the roof. I'd say indeed to me makes _today_ more sense even than ever that pros go the PC route for this very reason. A PC well configured in the hands of an at least very slightly computer savvy (with this I mean just a person with common sense and almost zero nerdy skills with hardware) person is just as efficient if not more than a mac. A cross fade is done just the same with both brands, u only need to configure well your machine. If your editing tool does more GPU rendering, well, then put the accent in GPU, if is more CPU, then there u have it, (and ryzen is killing it with their new gen in terms of IPC and number of cores in price/performance!) and also put more ram and both fast and large storage solutions (with this I only mean a well priced, affordable small SSD and a regular cheapo seagate barracuda 7200 rpm of the TBs u'd need).
In this field is way more expensive to go Apple because as you go needing more advanced hardware the price increases almost exponentially. I've been editing video since the 90s, and we made crazy complex stuff there with very low end, arcane PC solutions. Today any even low end office crap would beat those at the times. So... Yeah, for any one mounting such a system, you don't need a mac at all, but mount each piece of hardware with enough thought and evolve the machine as your gigs might require.
Final Cut is not "better" than Davinci Resolve (and its Fusion of an After Effects-like solution is rather useful) or Premiere. Meaning, most projects, specially in youtube channels (is not really complex editing, not even in the best folks around in it... it's still basic editing! I love how people wow some basic stuff... but that's nice) which is what has made this growing passion about video editing quite larger than it was ever before for the masses. This is good! Really good. I noticed it some years ago. Suddenly, sth I'd only have as part of my job at companies was... "trendy". I truly love that. I hope is not just some sort of fashion and people keeps seeing the value in video editing (and the effort/skills it takes!!). A lot of the friends who started back in the 80s / 90s, mounting their studio (I did not go mega pro video editing-ONLY like most of them, I swapped between fields) they did use PCs, majorly, as they'd have to concentrate all budget in specialized devices and hardware besides the PC. Cameras at professional level were super expensive. In the beginning u had to purchase mixing tables (u kno, that thingy with tons of rotating disks in it! lol... the times.... we were working with that and cathodic tubes screens (arcane TVs, actually), pretty damaging eyesight and all... ). U could do GREAT stuff with all that crap. So, yeah, don't go for a Mac Pro just 'cause some people STILL insist in that it's "the way" (many of those don't have a freaking clue). There's not a single way anymore (since decades, actually).
Some people do professional or high fx editing ?

Hahahaha this comment should be up there
These Halloween spooktacular endings are amazing.
I've done this, a £1000 is about the lowest budget you need for 4k editing. I still need to upgrade the Nvidia graphics card for £480 so realistically you need £1500.00 budget. I have a two-monitor screen system running an i7 processor quad core, and 32gb ram, oh and you will need £400.00 per year to pay for the Adobe package that includes Premiere Pro editing software, although you can get Davinci resolve at a one of price between £200/£300, so you now really need £2000.00 for editing. in realistic terms. also extra if you buy external storage drives, and you may need to upgrade your PC's power supply from 400 watts to at least 750 watts to run the extra wattage your new graphics card is going to use.
This video helped me realize that I don't need the best of the best even though Id like to have the best of the best.

Honestly? Even I have to say 1.000 for a 4k video editing work station is not too bad. If you do this as a living, you have to consider it as a tool or appliance. The camera will have been much more, typically.
Hell specific single shoots can exceed that budget, depending on type of expenses.
This nowadays has to count as budget.
I don't like it much either, but the age of 500€ PCs are over. Sure it is still possible. But not realistic, enjoyable, feasible. Neither for an editing rig nor for a gaming station, if you consider it a heavy hobby.
1.000 Bucks for a Build today is kind of the sweet spot for value as in price/performance actually. Though it is debatable, if peripherals should be in or outside that budget, imo.
I think some of us would really appreciate a Best Music Production Rig, since it's pretty much a thing now! A CPU based on real time buffer performance.. What does Linus suggest? Even for a budget rig??
those camera deserve a video of their own!

can you eventually do a Music Production budget build for us producers out there?
An i3 10100f and GTX 1650 will have us set for music production and some light gaming, and VFX work.
Just get a good CPU and at least 16gb Ram
Honestly, with some of the chips I have seen from intel, I would recommend an an i5 processor from the last couple generations, at least 16GB ram, a 16xx series graphics card or better, a power supply to run it, an ssd (nvme, or even sata) for storage, and whatever motherboard will run all that.
Something to note: it may be more worth it to look into ryzen's side of things, as they usually are cheaper, and from what I have seen can run better in some cases as opposed to its Intel counterpart.
Honestly, building for what you are asking about, just treat it like you want to build a decent budget gaming computer. It doesn't look a whole lot different.
Dude this video is so much useful than many other videos on youtube... you really showed what I want to see thanks a lot!!!
Can you make the same kinda video for Music Production too??? We also have a lot of samples and projects that we have to save and a back up drive about that too will be great. Music Producer depends mostly on Single core performance but it's becoming multithreaded. Samples and projects do take up space and losing that is also risky. It also requires a lot of ram to open up many plugins in the project.
It's a request can you make a video that shows a build for Music producers on a budget like this. It would be really helpful and informative.

@@timothyivan2427 Ohhh yes!! FL Studio user still need Windows to use all functionality of the DAW. And not everyone can own a Apple computer. And when you are on a budget then it's hardly impossible so I think windows might be a good option for most of the users. If you are a Dolby Engineer that uses Pro Tools then you might not be on a Budget.
They might want to call in someone from outside of LTT for this, but I'd be heavily interested in seeing this kind of vid as well.
@@TheXev yes it would be really interesting
In my experience, the trick to a great music production machine is FAST I/O, plenty cores/treads, and FAST memory and storage. Graphics card really doesn't help much with music production because there's hardly any visual rendering going on unless your DAW has a video viewer so you can sync the music to visuals. Even then, just make sure you have designated graphics. This same build that Linus did here is a great starting point, you just don't need quite as much memory since music files don't take up nearly as much space as video.

sweeping the videos for future build as well (Cinema and Rhino with vray renderer)..but why would you go Intel?

If you're talking about a budget build for editing 4K video, I think it's safe to say that the footage is shot in 4K. You might deliver in 4K or 1080p. My Panasonic G85 shoots in UHD 8-bit 4:2:0 at 100 Mbps. I might get an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, and that camera can shoot in DCI4K 8-bit 4:2:0 at up to 237 mbps. A Panasonic GH5 can shoot in DCI4K 10-bit 4:2:2 All-I up to 400 Mbps. That's probably as far as you might want to push it for a "budget" build because then you really start getting into higher-end gear. The Panasonic S1H can shoot 6K, but that's a $4,000 camera body. Is that really "budget?" The BMPCC 6K is $2,500, or maaaaaybe that counts as "budget," but even that is pushing it.
If you are shooting above DCI4K, then I think we get out of budget editing build range and into something more premium.

i have a stock dell I5 8400 with 12gb of ram for reference. only gets about 12 mins in with a very stacked timeline and then it starts crashing the software. i need 30+ mins of a very stacked up timeline.
would this guys build work for my need even though im not doing 4K? just 1080 60fps
any advice is appreciated!
Have you watched the task manager to see what's going on while you're editing? If the program is crashing after a while your system could be running out of memory. In that case more RAM might do the trick :)
probably ram limitations, the i5 8400 isnt great anymore either.
