1. which motherboard would you choose and why?
I find motherboard to be boring bits that we need to put it all together. Since you are not calling for anything out of the ordinary, I'd look at a few links and pick one.
a) https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds
b) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-motherboards,3984.html
Why gaming in that link? Because that's applicable to what video editing needs.
2. .For the monitor,
Usually a second and so on for more monitors since you may run into very annoying color issues if you change brands and models. As a video editor you would already be doing monitor color calibration so I won't write more.
3. Only x370 chipset is suitable for the eight-core.” What are your thoughts about this comment?
Maybe it's by some snobbish folk or there's a technical reason. There are now over 8 core CPUs and to figure out if the CPU fits, I look at the motherboard's CPU compatibility list.
4. If you had a budget of $1000
I'd still get a nice laptop. I can see them for about or less than 1K with i5/i7, 16GB RAM and 1050GPU. These are portable and I can do the work and take it with me to show my stuff.
Still want to build? Follow others with builds from PCMR.
Part I:
I’m thinking of assembling a computer for video editing and creating special effects.
I’m interested in the most effective performance between processor and motherboard. I’m not planning on doing any computer accelerating at all. But I am considering using AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Pinnacle Ridge as a processor.
In this case, which motherboard would you choose and why?
To give you more information:
1.I plan to install three HDD. One for the operating system and the rest for everyday use.
2.I will include at minimum 16 GB of RAM.
3.For the monitor, I’ve chosen BenQ EW2770QZ. But perhaps I’ll add a second monitor, so I’d like to ensure that the motherboard I choose will allow me to accommodate such an expansion, and perhaps other types of upgrades later on. I’ll be happy to hear your ideas about other possible upgrades that I may not be thinking of.
I was advised to get just a motherboard from the b350 series because spending more is unnecessary, and it would be wiser to direct the money towards RAM. What do you think about this approach?
Part II:
I also read reviews about the motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F. In one review, a person described the performance of that motherboard together with the processor R7 1800. In reply, someone commented (I quote): “What 1800? Are you crazy? Just count how much electric power phase is on it! Only x370 chipset is suitable for the eight-core.” What are your thoughts about this comment?
Part III:
If you had a budget of $1000 to build a computer designed for video editing, what specifically would be your hardware of choice?
