Your computer's case will have its own fans but each processor will need it's own heat sync and fan or a water cooling system. If you want to go the AMD route stay tuned for Adobe updates, these chips may be a far better choice than Intel in the future but they aren't necessarily today. Puget systems has done a bench test with these new chips and Adobe Premiere and found that Intel may still have the edge. Sadly, at the time that this article was written, Adobe software doesn't seem to be totally optimized with these processors. If you're working in Premiere like we are, you may want to buy a chip with more cores and a slightly lower clock speed.ĪMD has recently released the "Ryzen" series of processors which are (at least on paper) more powerful and cheaper than the Intel competitors. If you're only going to be using your computer for photo editing, you may want to buy a chip like the Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz simply because it has a native 4.2 clock speed. Some Adobe programs, like Premiere, can take advantage of multiple cores while other programs, like Lightroom, utilize more clock speed. First, you'll need to decide what your computer will be used for. The processor socket size will determine your motherboard, and your motherboard will then determine which case and other components you buy as well. Choose a Processor FirstĮvery PC build should begin with choosing a processor. You can use the tips I give you below to easily build a completely unique computer from scratch using PCPartPicker. This website allows you easily compare and purchase every possible component for your build while also warning you of any incompatibilities and finding you the best price for each part.
The absolute best resource I have found for building a PC from scratch is PCPartPicker. How to Build Your Own Computer for Photo and Video Editing
We have created a video of the entire process and a list of each component we used. The second half of this article will be about our specific build. I finally decided to teach myself how to build the ultimate PC for video and photo editing and I'm bringing you along for the ride.Īt the start of this article I will explain the basic process of choosing components for your desktop. I've always been a Windows desktop user, but until this point I've never built my own desktop from scratch.
