Hey everyone! I'm planning an upgrade for my PC and I'm aiming for a setup that's future-proof. I mainly edit 4K footage at 50/60p, but I want to ensure it can also handle 6K or even 8K footage down the line. There's been a lot of discussion about whether Intel or AMD is better these days, and I heard AMD has made some great strides, so I'm seeking your thoughts on my chosen components. Here's what I've got lined up:
- Fractal Design Meshify 2 case
- ASUS PROART B650-CREATOR motherboard
- Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS liquid cooler
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with 16 cores and 32 threads
- 64GB Corsair Vengeance RAM at 6000MHz
- 16GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU
- 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO NVMe SSD
- Two Ironwolf PRO hard drives (8TB and 10TB)
Considering the total cost is around 4000 in my local currency, do you think this setup can handle the demands of editing 6K and 8K footage? Is it worth the price? Thanks a lot for your input!

For that setup, you're definitely looking at high-end hardware, which is great for video editing! It's suggested to go for a B850 or X870 motherboard if you're considering PCIe 5.0 SSDs for even better performance. Check out Puget's reviews for your editing software because they often test with a wide range of RAM speeds, which can impact AMD's performance.
Thanks for that tip! I’ll definitely look into the B850 or X870 options. Do you still think using pcpartpicker.com to share my build URL is a good move?
