Definitely a desktop, I have the following specs and I still struggle with 4k videos :confused:
  • AMD Radeon R9 280x
  • 16gb DDR3 ram
  • Intel Core I5
  • 500gb ssd
Its possible for me to edit in 4k but the struggle is real, lol.

Well you can compare to what some of the biggest tubers have and go from there. I know jacksepticeye has an i7 processor, 32 gigs of ram, the GTX titan and a bunch more for his setup.

Doing 4k if you're just an entry level tuber seems like a bad investment tbh, 4k isn't that accessible to be something that can be handled for a cheaper price. Not only do you need to edit 4k but you need to record the 4k too...

In my opinion, I am going to say its better to resize your 4k videos to 1080p that way you can still edit smoothly and your video quality is great!

That's kinda where I'm at still entry-level imo but I'm more wanting just to buy something once and use it for a long time, rather than keep upgrading up to that.

But I'll def look onto what you said! seeing what other ppl got for a set up! thanks for the idea man :)[DOUBLEPOST=1478746371,1478746297][/DOUBLEPOST]Sw
