Im building this thing for my mom who does video editing and stuff like that for work. i want to know what yall think.



Is the 1070 over kill? should i go with 2x16 ram or what ive got listed (4x8) for quad channel. Alot of people are saying use CAS 9 latency on the ram for video edits but that just doesn't make sense and i think higher frequency will work just fine.

Im totally open to suggestions about the motherboard tho, id like one with a bios reset button.

That motherboard has too many bad reviews for RMAs, I would pick something else, CPU is actually an ok choice, anything higher than that and your price to performance drops significantly. The only reason to go for the 6850 is for the extra pcie lanes. Defiantly go quad channel. And for CPU cooler, go for something cheaper, a $35 one will do the job, broadwell-e CPUs don't OC that well anyway you're only gonna get 200-400 MHz out of it depending on the silicon lottery.
 
Oh and the 1070 is a little overkill, bring it down to a 1060 or even a 1050ti and get her a pcie SSD, definitely would see some use out of that. Video editing is more CPU intensive though a GPU does help in in certain functions.
 
Alright i think i hammered out the kinks, This is a no budget overkill build btw, so some things are there just because. (NVME 960PRO coming soon)

Why not go for an AIO cooler than, only cost you $25 more. I'm waiting on the 960 as well, I gotta be the first one to load into bf so I can wait 2 minutes for the round to start.
 
The D-15 is better than most water coolers and i want a 0% chance of leaks because most likely the computer will have very important work on it.

Lol.
 
this is more of a porn-watching build
FYI: 'your mom watches porn....I know I know...just accept it.....check her browser history'
 
I think you got a solid build there. But what's the difference in video editing with say, a 780 versus a 10xx card?

I do some editing on my 4700k/32GB RAM and a 780 and the problem I tend to run into is the CPU and RAM limits. Yes, I literally run out of 32 GB of RAM (when editing this). When encoding it seems like my CPU peaks but my storage device I/O doesn't. I also have a single SSD and dual Velociraptors (in RAID 0 I, which I assume you're aiming for) which works good enough. In Adobe After Effects, it seems like it's using mostly my CPU and mass storage and not my GPU.

If I were to do it over, I'd get a beefier CPU and more RAM. It seems like the encoding process is CPU based in CS6 (at least). But when you compare the 780 and the newer cards, I'm not sure if a 780 vs 980/1080 makes that big of a difference in video editing applications until I see some benchmarks.

I'd max out on CPU, high-speed storage, and RAM. I'm not terribly convinced that Adobe Suite takes full advantage of GPU rendering power like games do.
