I am a professional video editor, looking to upgrade my current PC.

My current configuration is

  • Processor- ryzen 5 1600
  • Motherboard- MSI b350m pro vdh
  • GPU- Asus 1050 ti
  • RAM - gskill Ripjaws 5 ddr4 8x2 16 GB 3000mhz
  • PSU- Cooler Master 450w.

    My current problem is when I use morph. (after effect) title, lower third the timeline is very lagging(1080p). 

My clients sit YouTubers who send me 4k Sony a7iv raw log Providing files. I am now looking for a budget-friendly upgrade. If I take Ryzen 7 5000 gen, then I can use this motherboard, PSU and GPU so that the cost may be lower. Again, the performance will be good if intel 13600k is taken. It will increase the price a little. Will work with i5 13600k 1050ti 32 GB ram 450 PSU. Since you are a professional, I would like to ask you for advice on what would be better to do and what the budget would be less. I want to run the upgrade for at least 5 years. Come on, you will reply very quickly.
Also, you can give me your budget-friendly suggestion for 4k editing which I do not upgrade in the next 5 yrs.

Unfortunately, your motherboard does not officially support anything newer than a 2000-series Ryzen outside of beta BIOSes. MSI has never released a final, non-beta BIOS for that motherboard that supported even a 3000-series CPU, let alone a 5000-series CPU.

 

As a result of that, the better solution would be to just buy an entirely new PC build with all-new components, especially since your 1050 Ti is woefully inadequate for 4k video editing (it does not perform any better for GPGPU applications than the newest on-CPU integrated graphics such as the one that's built into the higher-end mobile versions of the 12th-Gen Intel CPUs). In other words, any CPU or CPU platform upgrade will be heavily bottlenecked by your current GTX 1050 Ti.

 

You'd just be putting lipstick on a pig or trapped between a rock and a hard place, in your situation.
