What computer should I get?

[EraserheadBaby]

I need a new computer able to edit A/V for a 75 minute movie and run Cyberpunk at medium levels. DOOMworld has a lot of computer savvy folks, so I thought I'd ask for some advice here.

I can build one from suggested parts and have of budget of $1,200.

 

Thanks for checkin' the thread.

I'd rather not suggest parts as it will just lead to people saying X part is better etc, and besides, that's part of the fun of building a PC is selecting the parts and getting it within budget. If you intend to build and are on a $1,200 budget, then select the parts in this order for the easiest route to keep within budget:

 

GPU - this is where a decent chunk of your budget should go if you want to complete the tasks you're wanting.

CPU & MOBO - Buy the latest and greatest CPU you can afford and a MOBO that will support your GPU and CPU choices. 

RAM - Get at least 16 GB of RAM for what you're trying to accomplish, at least two 8GB sticks.

PSU - No need to complicate this, 80 plus rated or higher.

Storage - There's a few ways to go about this but under your budget I'd go with an SSD with at least 1TB of storage.

Case - Now that you have your parts it should be easy to determine what size case you'll need to fit all of it.

 

With $1,200 you should easily be able to put together a computer that will meet your needs, and you can always upgrade it later.

I've heard GPD Win series isn't half bad if you're on budget. Haven't got a chance to buy one and use it myself, but I've heard good things about it.

Wish you had just a little bit more to spend. You could score a Sager i9 notebook for $1349.

I'm running a 17" Sager i9 notebook, and it's rock-solid. Would definitely buy again.
