Creating a new build for video editing and gaming?
Creating a new build for video editing and gaming?
Hello,
I’m a beginner setting up a PC for video editing, gaming, and AI image generation. My current setup is on a laptop without a dedicated GPU.
My budget falls between $2000 and $2500, and I’m based in the USA.
By the way, I don’t like RGB lighting (I’ll cover the glass with black gaff tape 😉).
Here’s what I have assembled:
PC Parts List
CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K 3 GHz 24-Core Processor
($470.71 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 56.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
($116.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700
($249.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $2454.64
About the choices I made:
CPU – A powerful option for heavy tasks.
Cooler – Despite my aversion, I feel forced to use liquid cooling for this high-performance chip.
Motherboard – Asus ROG STRIX Z790-H is solid and fits my needs.
Memory – Plenty of RAM for editing work.
Storage – I’m hoping it’s reliable.
Video Card – The RTX 4070 Ti is top-notch and fits the price point.
Case – It’s well-reviewed but lacks dust filters; I’m open to suggestions if a better one exists.
Power Supply – I chose 1000W for safety, efficiency, and future flexibility.
Monitor – Already bought; saved with rewards.
Price note: I’m aiming to stay within the $2000-2500 range.
I’m new to this build and learning as I go. Thanks for any advice!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Your setup is fine, but I recommend choosing the Samsung 990 Pro instead of the Acer drive and adding an extra SSD with lower capacity for the operating system, apps, and game launchers. You can use a large SSD (2TB or more) for your game library. Another SSD can serve as a scratch disk, and a final drive for your finished projects.
