Could someone help me spec a build please?
Hi
Posting on behalf of a friend who asked me for advice on speccing a build he wants for video editing etc
About the computer upgrade.. This is where you might be able to help me. My bro hasn't ordered anything yet as he said that Motherboard etc was just a suggestion of what he thought i might need. He says it's been a while since he upgraded his PC so hasn't been keeping upto-date with current trends in the computer world. He suggests making a post on the overclockers forum to 'Spec me a PC for image and Video editing', but i thought i'd ask you first incase you might have an idea of what i need. Would be using it for the following tasks -
- Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Lightroom
- Working with full HD video and rendering 3D graphics
As you can see it will need to be a machine that can handle intensive graphic and video editing so no doubt a nice number of 'cores' would be essential. My bro has a gfx card there for me (if it meets my requirements), it's a 8800GTX. If that package that he specced for me already (the Phenom 6 core one) is good enough then i'll just go with that or if you can spec me something more suitable then i'll go with that.
Would the i5 2500k be better than a Phenom X6 for what he wants to do....any help on this or suggestions would be most appreciative....
