Building an Editing PC Right Now? Yikes.

Together we advance❌ Together we suffer✅

Time for a PC Mortgage 💀

Tough time for editing builds right now 😢

My rig started out as an editing rig but ended up as gaming lol. The result on the other hand is a substantially overpowered rig that can function extremely well in both roles.

As a surgeon , 90% of kidney donors are editors, other 10% are gamers.

He just jinxed the cpus

Editing the ram prices to be cheaper so i can buy more ram

Join the council Zach . You have potential!

Hey Zack, I made a $2,500 PC build that I plan to buy in ~3 years since I don't have enough cash rn. Can you find any optimizations or mistakes?.Im currently on a crappy Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IML05. Day 1 of asking PC specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D Motherboard: ASUS B650E‑MAX Gaming WiFi W Graphics Card: RTX 5070 WINDFORCE SFF 12GB GDDR7 RAM: Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5‑6400 CL38 CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Case fans: 4x Thermalright TL‑H12‑X28‑S SSD: MSI Spatium M482 2TB PCIe 4.0 PSU: Montech CENTURY II 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular Case: Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA ATX Mid Tower Black Peripherals: Monitor: LG UltraGear 27" 1440p 480Hz OLED Monitor Keyboard: MageGee Portable 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Mouse: FFJ Wireless Gaming Mouse Headphones: JBL Quantum 100 Closed White Gaming Headset Microphone:(No microphone since the headphones already have a mic)

i hope ram gets better

The council is waiting.

Hey zack, im a big fan asking for YOUR recommendations , could you recommend me some gaming laptops? Budget is 1300 dollars, im going into 7th grade so ill need it for coding and programming, i want to play minecraft with shaders, fortnite with good graphics, rocket league and roblox, and ill also might stream on it so what do u recommend? I was looking at a lenovo loq with a ryzen 7 rtx 4060 and 16gb of upgradable ram and 512gb ssd, if you could find me some good specs like i listed, and if u find me a good laptop, can the ram and ssd be upgraded so i wont have to worry for the next 2-3+ years?

"the cpu market is in a good state right now" subtle foreshadowing

I laughed aloud when you said 64 gigs of ram

Shoot in 4K, edit via proxies, and export 1080p. Would it be faster to edit on a machine with 128GB RAM and a 5090? Yes, but my 2020 M1 16GB MacBook Air still works great for that kind of editing, as does on my old ROG Strix gaming laptop with its GTX 1060 with 32GB RAM and even on my desktop with 16GB RAM and RX 7600. The fast-high capacity storage is a must 100%!!! No dodging the cost here.

Coping with my 24gigs, proxing everything Storage is making me manage files lile never before hope it improves

Day 4 of asking: ZachsTechTurf, I really love your videos and I’ve been watching you for a long time now. I wanted to ask if there’s any chance you could give me a PC. I don’t have enough money to buy a new one because PC-s are really expensive in my country. I want to become a software engineer and I won't be able to become one if I don't have a PC. If you're not able to give me one, it's OK,but I just wanted to ask... Can you please consider me?

Just edit more ram into your build.

Zach can u please convince my dad to let me get 64gb ram a rtx 4060 and a new amd cpu (with my own money) he said if it has storage it can run anything and I’m not spoiled it’s a 2007 fossil with a new case I bought
