I'm looking to get a new PC for Vegas 13. I've been working with an I7-3610QM laptop (7463 passmark score) and need something a bit more powerful to edit a documentary I'm working on.
Looking to spend between $2,500 and $3,000; although I've built my own in the past, I don't have the time to do that now.
The HP Z workstation line comes highly recommended by Video Guys. B&H has a 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 Six-Core (passmark of 9978) with 32 GB Ram and a NVIDIA Quadro K2200 4GB for $2,663.
Also looking at a CyberPower PC unit with i7-5930K 6-Core Processor 3.5GHz (passmark of 13627) 32GB Ram and a 12GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Graphics card from Costco for $2500.
I realize that both of these video cards are not ideal for Vegas but I've never used GPU acceleration with Vegas in my current setup because it never worked right. So, I don't care if I have to turn it off anyway, as long as I can drive multiple monitors and it's stable.
I'm more concerned in getting the performance increase from the CPU. If that's the case, should I go with the I7 box? Or I'm I better off with the HP box, as it seems to better engineered?
My goal is to have a stable and fast platform. And, I might want to add Premiere Pro into the mix at some point.
Thoughts?
