I am looking for advice for a build that will be for video editing only. It is not for me, but for a friend who wo simply needs a pc that works. I come into play because I like putting PCs together
but I haven't got much of an idea on what hardware goes into a designated video editing rig.
It will be used for Nuke, Premiere and Maya - no playing games here
Hard drive space and speed are big priorities. I was thinking about 2 SSDs and a couple of HDDs
Budget 2000-2500 Euros absolute max
2011 or 2011-3?
Xeon or i7?
What video card?
The whole system just needs to work, no fancy gimmicks, or overclocking plans.
Looking forward to see your suggestions - hope this sparks a discussion, so I can learn something
