Intel has recently slashed their prices very significantly, so significantly that now it actually looks as a better option than AMD. Also Intel has Quick Sync module (which AMD doesn't) that helps with H264, H265 encoding/decoding. The problem with Intel is it requires more power, more powerful PSU and Motherboard which slightly push our budget upwards. Also if you buy 13 or 14 gen Intels you risk a lottery, at some point you may face chip degradation and failure of your unit. But gen 12 as far as I know does not have this degradation issue.
I wanted to switch platforms over to AMD but I was able to upgrade to a 12900k. From Noctua’s compatibility they claim my D15 air cooler is more than enough. All I had to get extra though I presume it’s also factoring the 4080 super haha, was a more powerful PSU
i7-12700K would probably be the most optimal option price/performance low budget wise. With Gigabyte B760 AORUS ELITE AX + some DDR5. Intel boards are more expensive because Intel is a hotter CPU, and boards require more thermal and power stage circuitry.
@@AndresReviews Thank you so much I appreciate your reply and the content in this video and happy to become a subscriber. I'm sorry if I missed this in your video but how much did your build end up costing you?
I used a much older laptop for 4k video editing. You have to know how to optimize Adobe settings. And use proxy files, not use direct files. But generating the proxies can be time consuming.
@@AndresReviews absolutely! my motherboard is an mATX model, so it only has two RAM slots. given my tight budget of around $900, this was the most affordable option I could find
@@AdamYazamii there are games that run better on 32, but most should be fine with 16. Basic cut&trim video editing will be also fine with 16, by the time you need 32 or 64 it may be years of basic editing and learning. But of course more memory is always better. You may buy two sticks by 32 and have in total 64 on you motherboard and it will cost you around $100. But for now you may stick to what you have, especially considering gaming is your primary use case.
it is possible, but it also means added rendering, storage, extra steps, more complexity with files management on ad hoc basis when new files are constantly being added. In general proxies are good, but i'd rather avoid them whenever possible.
@@AndresReviews i understand, if you are working with 25-50 footages of raw files then it will be very hectic to manage all those proxies and also having more space for those proxies which can take up to 500GBS have a good day

Outstanding video!!!!
Thank you for covering this exact topic.
Intel better 12 gen but required aio using the aircooler quite challenge unless you have extra desk fan blowing into your pc

@@borremoonkey 12900k with quick sync is awesome, in general you have a very decent system
i have never seen someone cover this topic in details. thank you a lott you just saved me paid worth of consultation! thanks andrew
I have this exact problem. Thank you for this video. Just curious which intel processor and board you would recommend (within budget of course)
glad it helped you!

your girls brain is sure smarter than mine I bet 😂
I just bought a ryzen 5 5500 pc equipped with an rx 6750xt 12gb and a 512gb ADATA Legend nvme with 16 gigs of ram is this good?
16 gigs of ram is a little too low, is it two sticks by 8 gigs?

what tasks do you plan to perform on this machine?@@AdamYazamii
@@AndresReviews Mostly for gaming, but I've recently been thinking about getting into video editing as well

why don't u guys use proxy for 4k, it helps to play even 8k footage pretty smoothly in old systems
