usually i just build basic computers for things like web browsing, youtube, media server/storage etc.
one of my sons wants a computer to do gaming and video editing (adobe premier was mentioned)
i was thinking about something like a ryzen 3400g with 16-32GB ram on a b450 board like the following partial lists:
the idea is upgrade-ability in the future, right now he just wants to get started , and i have some ram, a case and a corsair PSU, which wont be enough for the the threadripper. i think the threadripper will be out of his reach (financially) for the time being.
i edited one of the lists to drop the rx580 to a rx570 : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qg2Zkd
RX590s are only a few bucks more. THis comes around to 680$. BUt i included RAM. I have no clue what you have, but Ryzen 3000 seems to like faster RAM.
You could even go with an NVMe Drive. The Samsung 970 Evo isn’t much more expensive. Though you’d be hard pressed to actually notice it in day to day work. I’ve just personally have had great experience with my Samsung SSDs. WD, not so much.
ive had decent luck with WD drives, and fantastic luck with samsung. ive had very poor luck with seagates (like every one ive ever owned, and alot of those i had to replace for others), and thus i never consider them.
the ram i have is 8 GB of gskill 2133; it overclocks to 2966 without issue. but that will not be enough to run premier properly.
ive changed the list to this : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MrHQFt
basically went with the rx570 , 16GB gskill 3200 RAM , a 500 GB evo sata ssd and a 1TB spinning rust drive. he can upgrade that at a later date, or add more storage as needed. if he can come up with another $100 then the video card goes to a rx580/590 .
