Video editing on a budget.

A lot to be going on there in reply's, i did think a server would be noisy but didn't realise the cores where low clock speeds. i
I would like to get him to build the pc with guidance. I dont want to sped a fortune until i know his serious about it. Workstations crossed my mind, but i have no idea if they are suitable or not

davelectronic:
 i didn't want to spend out on ddr4 hardware. is socket 775T intel with a core 2 quad worth considering ? 

beanflying:
If you are buying new memory DDR4 is fairly well priced compared to not long ago. Video editing is a hog for memory and clock speed and cores help a lot. As the 2600 I mentioned in my last post is now 'old tech' they are popping up secondhand and even some systems in limited numbers are showing up in Oz as people chase better gaming PC's in particular.

Others might like to weigh in on the CPU/Board you are looking at I don't have any idea where in the food chain it fits. The issue I would see  with it is the complete lack of upgrade path later on. This is one of the issues with looking at older Intel CPU's.

If the editing is mostly splicing the video and the use of effects and transcoding is kept to a minimum, the requirements will decrease significantly.

That's ancient, don't bother with anything older than Ivy Bridge.

Red Squirrel:
I do all my Youtube video editing on an i3 using Linux Mint and Kdenlive.   Sometimes I feel it's a bit limited in some respects compared to the pro grade stuff, but it's stable and it still does enough for my needs.    Even on my older lower end hardware the usability is fine and render times are ok.

I keep my videos relatively short though like 10-20 minutes so have not really tried super long videos yet.
