NEW BUILD FOR VIDEO EDITING DDR3 VS DDR4 ADVICE

[itsyoboyk]

Good day community,

I have dilemma with building computer for editing. With my budget I can afford two builds.

DDR 4 Build       

CPU	AMD  RYZEN 1200
MOBO	GIGABYTE-GA-AB350M-
GPU	EVGA   GTX-1050-2gb
RAM	Corsair   LPX 16GB DDR4 2666

DDR 3 Build

CPU	fx+8350+black+edition
MOBO	gigabyte-ga-970a
GPU	EVGA   GTX-960
RAM	Patriot-1866MHz   16 gb

So for my budget which build you recommend?

Does ddr4 gives me huge difference during editing??

It's not so much DDR4 versus DDR3, but It's also the CPU architecture as well. I do not recommend the DDR3 build at all since it is of a now-outdated architecture that implements poorly several critical SSE4 features that Adobe makes heavy use of. That results in that FX 8350 BE, despite having 8 cores and 8 threads, performing as slow as or slower than a four-generation-old (Haswell) quad-core non-hyperthreadable (4-core/4-thread) Intel i5 CPU in CPU-only performance.

As for the Ryzen 1200, it is more powerful itself than the FX 8350 BE. However, it is still weaker than a two-generation-old Skylake 4-core/8-thread i7 CPU.
