Asked by CreativeSparrow92
I'm looking to build a desktop specifically for photo and video editing, and I want to keep my budget under $5,000. I definitely want to go with an Intel processor, and I'm considering a GPUโ€”should I go for a 5070 Ti or a 5080? I appreciate any suggestions!

Consider dropping the CPU cooler for a Thermalright Vision instead. You might also want to skip the Windows OS purchase and just create a bootable drive for free. Switching to an H7 Flow case, going for 128GB of RAM, and upgrading from the 5070 Ti to the 5080 will easily keep you within your budget!

CreativeSparrow92: Amazing! Thank you! Iโ€™m definitely going with the 5080! Looking at the other changes now!

You've got some solid picks! Honestly, you should definitely aim for the 5080 for 4K editing; it's going to give you the best performance for your needs.
