At least that’s what it’s called i think?

Anyway even though i’ve used photoshop, vegas, premiere for years now i never bothered to go full in on the subject and figure out what the best components would need to be. As in what parts affect what performance. Mostly just used my gaming pc.

Budget would be around 2200 euros max and needs to contain everything i list here ( this is European prices , not US ).

Edit: PC will be pre-built, firm will buy it and some law forces them to go this way

Cpu
Ram
Gpu

Tablet (id prefer one with display)
Monitor

Or, if it would be better/easier to get a mac + tablet from your xp. Keep in mind i only used windows so far, only ios contact i had was my iphone, so not sure how hard it will be to get used to it.

License doesnt matter pc or mac, software will be bought.

Thanks in advance.

Main PC : I7 12700, MSI Ventus RTX 4090 24gb, Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED
Laptop : I5 4200H @ 3400mhz boost, GTX 850m 2gb Vram DDR3, 4gb RAM DDR3
Derpsole : Playstation 5 disc edition, Ninty Switcherino
TV+audio: LG CX 65" / Sonos ARC + SL ones + Sonos sub 3
VR Headset: Meta quest 2 airlinked

For your budget i would go for pure AMD setup (even tho you hate them, but trust me, it will be very good workstation, intel + nvidia cannot even touch the value / performance of this in this specific scenario). The performance for video/photo editing mostly comes from CPU multithreading + GPU OpenCL performance (which is spot on @ AMD currently).

AMD Ryzen 1700 (8-core / 16-Thread) + AMD Vega 56 + 16GB RAM (minimum)

Can do later bigger list, but need to work atm. System based on these internals will give you so much performance in video/photo editing. Im currently using 1950X (16 core / 32 thread) + Vega Frontier Edition for work, love the setup (my old work Mac Pro trash can is like calculator compared to this Very Happy Very Happy).

My work consist from very high resolution panorama videos / 360 VR which requires shitloads of compute power (for example im rendering and stitching currently huge panorama drone video filmed with 12x 4K GoPro Hero 5, the final resolution is insane).

Don't really care if it's intel/nv or amd.

Problem is the vega56 is still overpriced here so that's not really an option. Regarding the cpu, how's your experience with it? It's true i haven't touched AMD in years but i just want something stable.

Also forgot to mention, this is more of a guidelines for me, the pc or mac will be bought as a package ( firm buying it and local laws force them to buy "bulk"? as in pre-packaged pcs ). So in other words, i'll be checking what pre-built options are available that match the recommendations somewhat. Just wanted to know what cpu / gpu would do best in video/image editing.

Hm come to think of it, my first post doesn't make much sense , as in no need to recommend a psu/mobo since it's prebuilt. Heh.. will edit.

LE: no vega56/64 prebuilts here, only ryzen ones with nvidia or 580's etc.

Edit2 : if i go ryzen 1700 (any point in x? noticed you didnt mention it), and an nvidia card, does it even matter what nv card it is? For PS/Vegas/Premier etc? Any difference between a 1050 or so and a 1070? If not, could go with a wacom tablet with display then..

Cheers

Mac is not option for that kind of budget, you are not getting shit for 2200 euros, the "Mac power" you can get for that money is Intel Integrated shit combined with low power intel CPU´s Laughing. Custom built old Mac Pro (Dual Xeon CPU´s) tower with 1080Ti / Titan XP / Vega 56/64 would be pretty good tho, but that is not really option here.

CPU: Ryzen 1700
RAM: 32GB
GPU: GTX 1070/1080/1080Ti (depends how heavy video you edit, but the difference between those 3 aint that earth shattering), would try to get that Vega 56 tho, but yeah it can be hard to get and the prices are bad :/ (it is slightly faster in openCL performance than 1080Ti tho, very nice deal for the "normal price")

Thanks, guess i'll just go with something along the lines of ryzen1700+1070+32gb, maybe 1080 depending on what prebuilts ill see on black friday, still time to decide til december.

Maybe even vega56 if it happens to be more available/normal priced til then. Kind of annoying i can't mix and match parts but whatevs.
