Hey guys, this is a different build compared to what I normally do. My brother is starting to make videos for clients and more youtube stuff for himself. He's recently gotten a bunch of new cameras, lens, etc, and needs to now replace his 5 year old gaming laptop.
- Videos will be 1080p
- Most videos will be 15-20m final cut
- Software will be Adobe Premiere (he also uses light room and photoshop currently)
I know his old laptop even though an i7 it's extremely dated, first gen i7 and I believe only 2 cores since it's mobile, old and hot!
I'm not familiar with Premiere so I don't know if he's better with a better video card or more cores, or less cores and higher frequency cores... HELP!?
What do you guys think of the following:
- 2x 12C E5-2683 V3 ES (2 cores disabled per CPU thus 12 not 14 - I have had this for a couple years)
- SuperMicro Motherboard for above CPUs (have this too)
- 8x 4GB DDR4 RDIMM (have these too)
- Intel or Samsung SATA SSD OS drive
- Intel or Samsung SATA SSD Active Project drive
- WD HDD for storage
Would a $150 video card suffice or something like the 1070 6GB be better?
Would a NVME improve performance at all or is it CPU or GPU bound anyway?
Are those CPUs going to be awesome or better to go with a single 6 or 8 core at 3Ghz?
The system is primarily used for his photo editing he does now, minor internet browsing, and within a month he'll be doing video editing a lot.
The idea is to keep the system as cheap as possible, and I'm pretty sure the 2x CPU + Motherboard I have will cost him as much as 1 retail higher frequency, lower core CPU...
Thanks guys!
