I am in the market for a new PC. Just the tower - I have the monitors and external sound card.
Although I am not outputting 4k at this stage, I am shooting some 4k on second cameras and using this to zoom in for 1080p output.
Bearing in mind the increased role of GPUs in playback and rendering, I’m very interested in hearing you guys' opinions on the relative importance of things like –
How many Cores
What speed CPU
What speed and memory for GPU
How much RAM
What power supply
Any other issues …
I do make videos for a living, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I need to pay big money for the very latest components, unless doing so makes a big difference to my editing experience. I'd be happy to pay around A$5,000, but that's only US$3550 at current rates!
By the way, is there a list of “recommended hardware” on this SCS site? I’ve had a look without finding anything.
Looking forward to hearing some advice and experiences …….
