Help building a PC

[Ed_Gein]

Need to help my brother build a PC. He says he needs it for video editing software, running VR and maybe some gaming. He said his budget is around AU$2k but I'm thinking that might be overkill for what he needs it for? What sort of parts should he be looking at? Any help is appreciated

Something like this would be suffice for that price. It would work out cheaper if you were to buy the parts and build it yourself.

So i don't think we have had this thread before. Recently I've decided I'm going to build my first gaming PC. I've always been mainly a console guy and that won't change. However with abundance of sales on steam, the windows 10 cross play feature, numerous titles i can't get on my other...

I do video editing. Really depends what software he is using and the video files (e.g. codecs, resolution, colour space).

2k will get a decent computer but will "under spec'd" for serious video editing. You can easily spend over 2k just on a CPU and graphics card.

The parts he'd need:

• Case
• Power supply
• Motherboard
• CPU
• CPU cooler
• RAM
• Graphics card (depends on the software; may get away with onboard graphics)
• SSD or HDD

A decent PC for video editing would be closer to 4k.
