1st PC Build for Video editing and Gaming around $1K

[FordGT90Concept]

That benchmark also doesn't indicate whether or not the boot volume is using GPT (therefore UEFI). If MBR, a large chunk of the boot time is cataloging devices.

Both of those games utilize streaming engines so queries to the SSD are small and quick. Battlefield especially is showing the latency difference between NVMe drives and SATA. The huge difference between NVMe and SATA is in sequential reads/writes because the interface isn't a bottleneck on the NAND chips (can see it in the ISO copy on page 8 where NVMe can be twice as quick). Except 3D Xpoint in some Intel and Micron SSDs (which is ridiculously priced), the physical memory in NVMe and SATA drives is more or less the same.

TL;DR: NVMe is quicker in small transactions (because lower latency) and much faster in big transactions (because higher bandwidth).

Hello all sorry for the late reply. I made the mistake of confusing this forum with another and thought that no one replied to this specific topic.
Since this post I actually had a friend recommended me a few parts and have made some purchases but still need about half of the other components.
I can still cancel the orders if what I have purchased is a waste of money or if there are better options.

Before I begin to list what I have purchased I will write my intentions with this PC.
I grew a interest in videography and plan on editing 4k films, montages and documentaries with Premier Pro (1st program on my list to try)
I also would like this PC to play almost any game I throw at it. Although I am not a huge gamer there are some new games I am interested in playing.

I have zero experience editing videos. I live on the 2nd floor where the modem is located downstairs so I would need a wifi adapter although
I would be able to get a very long wire and snake it to my room but wouldn't that cause it to lose its signal strength?


Here is what I have purchased.

• Intel Core i7-8700 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.6GHz Turbo LGA1151 300 Series 65W BX80684i78700
• Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
• Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Here is what I have in my shopping cart.

• EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card (08G-P4-6173-KR)
  • A little too much on what i want to spend but unless I find a better option this is it.
• ASRock - Z370 Killer SLI/ac ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
• Crucial - MX500 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
• SeaSonic - 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
• TeckNet Gryphon Pro LED Illuminated Programmable Gaming Keyboard and Mouse set, Water-Resistant Design, US layout

What I still need

• Decent monitor
• PC cooler
• Donations (joke)

Again thank you all for taking the time and helping a brother out.

OK... I thought you budget was $1000... I guess not.

you did not build so far, so why not take full advantage in a few more months to come?

speaking of video cards, anything interesting coming from nvidia? GTX1100 series for example

Comparing SATA to NVMe is like comparing serial (as in RS-232) to SATA.

did a quick numbers test Samsung NVMe960pro vs Intel330SSD

I always edit video files that are located on NVMe, by mistake did from mechanical storage drive once & it was SLOW to a point of irritation, now wondering how it will feel from the SSD
