Calling on you gamers

Dont forget that as part of Ubisoft's subscription launch. You get to play the first month free.

I gotta say. Compared to the rest of the subs out there this is by far the best value for money.

And all of us get to play free for September.

Also the Breakpoint beta just dropped too.

Been waiting way too long for this one.

What level of video editing are you planning on doing? 4K? 1080P?

 

This will help to recommend the right specs.

 

I have a few suggestions based on what you have already posted, but I will wait for a reply to post them

Can you stretch your budget a bit and go for a kit with the 3400G (4 Core, 8 thread, versus 4/4 on the 3200G)?

For example: https://www.evetech.co.za/amd-ryzen-5-3400g-tuf-b450-plus-16gb-ddr4-upgrade-kit/best-deal/6380.aspx

 

Ideally though, something with the 3600, since you plan on buying a separate GPU anyway. 6 core, 12 thread, based on the newer design than the 3200G or 3400G.

Depending on what app you are going to use will be a factor as well.

 

See if you can rather get a 256GB NVMe drive (if supported by the MB - Think it should support if)

 

The graphics card will be your next upgrade if you start doing editing. Remember your graphics card can be used to render your video. I tried a few Windows Apps on my Laptop but I still fall back to iMovie on my MacBook Air. For serious work in Premiere I use my notebook (i7, 16GB of RAM and GTX1060 GPU) as it kills the MacBook. Would live to get an older Mac Pro to do editing work as the GPU can cut rendering down a lot.

I downscale most of my videos from either 4k or 2.8k to 1080p 25 fps.

But a decent graphics card will be the best. Sad I donated my PC to a school kid that now uses the system designed for CAD work for games and nothing else.

Jup also decided to get the stronger cpu

 

Probably very little 4k for now but definitely in the pipeline, got a gtx 1060 that should arrive by the end of this week

 

Upgrade kit and box are coming at the end of the month

Hi guys, so I am considering selling y sim race rig.

It includes the following:

Playseat - alcantara rig (I have added supports to the wheel mount, was not very solid)

Thrustmaster T300 RS wheel base with Ferrari 488GTE wheel

Thrustmaster F1 add on wheel

Thrustmaster T3pa pro pedals

Thrustmaster TH8a shifter, sequential and H pattern with mount.

 

I can toss in an older Samsung 32inch Tv with small wooden stand.

I would also be open to selling it with a 1Tb PS4 Pro console and 13 games.

 

PM me if anybody is interested.
