Advice on building a PC for photo + video editing
Hi all. I just decided to build a new PC for photo + video editing, as well as music production, and would like your advice on parts.
I'm currently leaning towards an Intel i7 9700k over Amd's Ryzen 2700, mainly because I like Intel more (even though it is more expensive).
For the display, I'm waiting on a BenQ SW240 24" 1920x1200 photography monitor I just ordered on Amazon. I decided on it over a 27" Dell. I've heard the quality control of more affordable monitors like this is not the greatest, so I hope for the best as $500 is my budget.
What are your thoughts? Considering I plan to use this PC for a variety of tasks, including editing 1080p footage (no 4k) in Premiere Pro, do you think this is a good build / do you have any recommendations?
Thanks.
