Ik ben toch geneigd om een nieuwe configuratie te bouwen. In onderstaande lijst staan twee mogelijke configuraties, n.l. 1 en 2 (vetgedrukt).
Zijn dit goede keuzes en welke is het verstandigst? Ik werk met AMC en Resolve, maar wil ook de optie hebben om met Premiere te werken.
1 Motherboard - ASRock X99 Extreme4 / 3.1
De X99 Extreme4 is een socket 2011-bord zonder poespas en daarom relatief betaalbaar. Tekort zul je met zes USB 3.0-poorten - één header, vier aansluitingen op het I/O-panel - en tien SATA600-connectors echter niet komen. De netwerkchip komt bij Intel vandaan en ook de ALC1150-audiocodec van Realtek is een uitstekende keuze. Voor wie nog eSATA-schijven heeft, zit er zelfs zo'n aansluiting op dit bord. Alles bij elkaar opgeteld, een ideaal bord voor de videobewerker.
Afhankelijk van je werkmethode, kan externe opslag soms niet snel genoeg zijn. De 3.1-versie van de X99 Extreme4 komt met een USB 3.1-uitbreidingskaartje, waardoor je wat snelle opslag betreft alvast op de toekomst bent voorbereid.Harddisk / SSD - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
An SSD in 2016 is indispensable in a video editing PC. The Samsung 850 Evo is not much more expensive than a budget series like the Crucial BX100, but is a bit faster and has a longer warranty period. With 500 GB you have enough space for all your programs and you can also use it as a scratch disk.
2 Motherboard - ASUS Prime X370-Pro
The ASUS Prime X370-Pro is a socket AM4 motherboard from the upper middle segment, but still clearly cheaper than the Intel X99 boards that we used before. It has an extensive power supply that can feed the processor effortlessly, even with a large overclock. ASUS has equipped the Prime with all the features you could wish for as a video editor: a high-quality audio device, an Intel network controller and USB 3.1 ports for super-fast file transfers. There is even an internal USB 3.1 header on the board, but there are hardly any cabinets that can use it.

1 Processor - Intel Core i7 5820K Boxed
If one application is almost completely optimized for the use of many cores, then it is video editing. That's why we prefer the Intel Core i7 5820K above the i7 6700, which has a higher clock frequency and can be combined with a cheaper motherboard, but two fewer cores count. In this performance segment, Intel is the only right choice, because no processor from competitor AMD comes close. Overclocking is also a possibility, although many video editors would prefer a system that is as quiet and stable as possible. Do you want to make the rendering a lot faster, then a nice overclock should not be a problem.
2 Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Boxed
AMD's Ryzen processors excel in the field of multi-threaded performance. If one application is almost completely optimized for the use of many cores, it is video editing. Thanks to the new generation, this 4K Video processing PC is faster and cheaper than the previous advice. We already wrote it in our AMD Ryzen review - that there is finally competition again, is a big win for the whole market. The Ryzen 7 1700X is at the time of writing four tens cheaper than the i7 6800K from Intel, but during the export of videos about as fast as the much more expensive 6900K. The socket AM4 platform also makes it possible to choose a more affordable motherboard below.

1 Video card - MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming 2GB
For GPGPU tasks in, for example, Adobe Premiere, a video card is useful that is suitable for this. The GeForce GTX 950 is an ideal candidate, including an HDMI 2.0 connection and hardware acceleration for playing material with the H.265 codec. Due to the limited consumption, little heat has to be removed, which can only benefit the noise production. We have to put the nuance here that it depends enormously on the editing software used and the complexity of your timeline whether an investment in a more expensive video card is worthwhile. The GTX 950 will in almost all cases offer added value over just rendering on the CPU, but if you plan to spend more, it seems like a good idea to deepen your knowledge.MSI proves that a GTX 950 can indeed be whisper-quiet. The Gaming variant is also economical, cool and reasonably priced, making the choice easy.
2 Video card - MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming 4GB
Since the chosen processor does not have an integrated GPU, we have to install a separate video card. In principle, the most computations during the editing and encoding of video material are done by the processor, but many packages also offer the possibility of hardware speeding up certain processes by the video card. This mainly involves processes with many parallel calculations, which can often be executed much faster by a GPU than by a CPU. The extent to which you benefit from it depends on which software you use and what your timelines look like. Not all effects can be accelerated by GPU acceleration. The chosen card will in almost all cases offer added value over just rendering on the CPU, but if you plan to spend more, it seems like a good idea to delve into this. The sites of Studio1productions and Pugetsystems are a good starting point. We choose a somewhat more expensive version of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. The fans of the MSI Gaming are completely silent in idle, but they will remain inaudible even under load. So you can work undisturbed and if there is time left over, then you can also play a game of casual gaming.

1 Harddisk / SSD - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
An SSD in 2016 is indispensable in a video editing PC. The Samsung 850 Evo is not much more expensive than a budget series like the Crucial BX100, but is a bit faster and has a longer warranty period. With 500 GB you have enough space for all your programs and you can also use it as a scratch disk. If you are working on very extensive projects, you could also look at the Samsung 950 Pro , a super-fast M.2-SSD. Per GB it is almost twice as expensive at the time of writing, so we do not yet choose a standard for such a drive.
2 Hard drive / SSD - Crucial MX300 525GB
An SSD is now indispensable in a video editing PC. The Crucial MX300 is reasonably fast and thanks to the 'weird' capacity you have some extra GBs at your disposal. With 525 GB you have enough space for all your programs and you can also use it as a scratch disk. If you are working on very extensive projects, you could also look at a super fast M.2-SSD. Per GB such SSDs are almost twice as expensive at the time of writing, so we do not yet choose a standard for such a drive.

Memory module - Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB DDR4-2400 CL14 kit
Many video editing software is happy with as much memory as possible, so we put a whopping 32 GB of DDR4 into this system. Ryzen is currently quite picky in terms of memory, but this set of Corsair is on the official compatibility list of the motherboard. You know so that you are well.
