Thank you so much for the feedback! this is great input.
I guess the main decision here would be: 13900k or 4080? Where should I invest more, on the CPU or the GPU? What is my workflow going to benefit from the most? My understanding was that photo and video editing software is more reliant on the processor than the GPU. What do you feel would have a bigger impact in performance?
As for the motherboard not having WIFI... I guess it is not something I strictly need as of today, but I would like the motherboard to be as future proof as possible and I don't know if I might need it, or just want to use it for convenience, in the future. I am also thinking if I should get it with at least 2.5gbps ports. My network infrastructure doesn't support it at the moment, but again, thinking about future proofing the setup, it might be worth it. Does that make sense?
I am happy with the cut in storage. I do have a NAS that I use for long term storage of finished products, so I don't need that much HDD space on the PC. I think it is important to have an SSD with good performance for OS&applications, and for project files. So your proposal sounds right.
WRT the monitor, you are also right, resolution is probably more important for the kind of use I plan to give this PC than refresh rate, which I guess is only relevant for gamers. So thanks for the suggestion.
Also agree on the original power supply being overspecced, so happy with this and the other changes you suggested.
So, thanks again for the suggestions, and back to the original question: CPU or GPU? Where should the dough go? :)
Can you share your gym recommendations? Please include where the gym is and why you would recommend it.
- Red spider (Fareham - UK) https://spiderclimbing.com/red-spider/
Bouldering-focus. Good size, good settings, not usually overcrowded.
- Kimera Climbing (Gavà - Spain) https://kimeraclimbingbcn.com/
Bouldering-focus. Small, good settings, very cozy and friendly.
- Sharma Climbing Gavà (Gavà - Spain) https://www.sharmaclimbing.com/es/espana/barcelona-gava/
Mix between sport climbing and bouldering, probably leaning more towards sport climbing. Huge - biggest climbing gym in Europe. Usually crowded during peak hours, but opens early and closes late so you can easily avoid them. Great settings, good variety. Other activities in the same place - yoga, fitness, etc.
How would something like this look?
Thank you!
I will check those links out.
I would like to keep it around $3,000 (3,000€ since I live in Europe).
Hi there! I am thinking about building my first PC, which will be mainly used for photo and video editing (Photoshop, Lightroom and Adobe Premiere Pro / Davinci Resolve).
Can you advise on what would be the best key components for such a build? (GPU, Processor, motherboard, monitor...)
My thought at the moment is that I should probably invest most of my budget in the processor (i9-13900k?) and then just get an "okay" GPU (maybe something from the Nvidia 30 series, or low tier 40 series, even something used??) since photo and video editing programs wouldn't really get the most out of it anyway.
Don't really have a clue about what motherboard would be best for the use the PC is going to have. Happy to hear suggestions and things to look for.
Finally, what would be good monitor options for color fidelity, within a reasonable budget of ~ $300?
Is there anything else that I should keep in mind when building a creator PC?
Thanks!
This is great news. I have signed up!
I must say, despite of how awesome Sync for Reddit was, I think we should all try not to go overboard with our expectations of what the first version of Sync for Lemmy will be. This is testing ground for all developers and expecting the same level of polishment that an app had on its 22nd version might be detrimental to the actual experience.
We know what ljdawson is capable of, so let's support him, let's enjoy his work (I am sure Sync for Lemmy v1.0 will still be awesome), but let's also give him time to refine his product on a new platform. I don't know what is involved in the development of this new app, but I do see some points where all other Lemmy apps are struggling, so I can only assume this enterprise presents some new challenges. It is only fair to give him some room for growth and not expect absolute greatness from scratch.
