Video Editing build / Workstation

>Government
>budget is a concern
>reliability is not
Yeah sure, go with custom built meme stations from pcpartpicker

>no idea how xeon naming works
>comes up with custom build without support

yeah, you really belong here

It's probably a better deal to get 2x3TB HDD rather than 1x4

OP here, Ok that was helpful...

Now, budget is ALWAYS a constraint.
You have a suggestion, I'll take it.
The general plan is to hand the meme thingie to the acquisition department and have them draft a contract notice to companies to they can come forward with machines at reasonable cost, with reasonable performance and not the meme "really stronk HP workstation with a Xeon from 5 years ago but reliability is priceless"...

See, the issue here is we want fast OS boot (SSD 1) fast cache drive for Adobe Premiere (SSD 2) and some short term storage, could be a 4TB or 2x 3TB in Raid now that I think of it...

Long term storage will be offline.

>no idea how xeon naming works

eh I'll take that. I still consider the Xeon a meme... And yes support is an issue that's why the pcpartpicker build is just a reference...

OP here,

okay /g/, education is what I came here for. I'll go for a run. I know you can do better.

Educate me.

jokes aside, this is what HP proposes on that WS

2014 (and a refresh from a 2012 chip) doesn't exactly spell "new" to me...

I'll put together a build for you if I get paid what you are.

>>60691669

OK, go ahead.

Ryzen is best for this. Wait for threadraper if you can. Don't get trolled by the Xeon maymay.

>>60691651
are you sure it's not

?
xeons keep their name and the v indicates the architecture so it's not a "refresh"

that's /v/-tier retarded

Why are you buying a 1080ti graphics card yet gimping on the monitor?
Buy a 10 bit monitor from eizo. Unless they are actually going to use things that employ graphics cards for rendering you don't need the best and you should look at quaddros instead

>>60691428
install gentoo

>>60691926

They still offer v3 though...

>>60691974

Yeah I get the reliability thing. Please explain, aside from reliability, how the Xeon would be better than Threadripprer or Naples... And before you say, the build has a 1800X because it is what's on the market now... Besides, they will not need more than 32/64GB Ram...

>>60692132

Yeah... eyed an EIZO but that thing brings me waaaaay over budget...

Where's the "like" button when you need it...

They won't be for most tasks you're after. Naples/Threadripper are designed after 14nm++ LPP with scalability, just like GCN, so AMD expects it to be in the pipeline much longer. Zen is expected to lose in AVX2/AVX256 floating point because it requires 2 128bit AVX ops + FMA to compute, Zen is expected also to lose in terms of (data) memory/uncore latency (theoretically negligible in most tasks). Zen will shit all over Intel in terms of scalability via MPI, and with about equal IPC and pipeline width and the fact that Threadripper can reach the same power envelope as competing at almost the same frequency of a 1800, it should decisively go toe to toe with current E5s and absolutely BTFO the i9 line. EBYC will probably also go toe to toe with the current E7 line.

For video editing the cost efficiency of Ryzen and very likely Threadripper alone is worth looking at. RAID is OK but unless you do mirroring you risk losing your data if either one fails. Threadraper is likely your best bet if you have the budget.

The video editing programs offered on my Apple MacBook Pro are perfect for what I need. With programs such as iMovie, I feel unstoppable!

High end i7 (4790k adviced since Intel didn't advance from the 2nd gen), something like gtx 1070 for future proof 4k even quadro equivalent if they want to spend, 16gb ram, 32if they want, 512ssd and 2*2TB WD blue, a dedicated soundcard. A good motherboard, nice case with a lot of external I/O, a 4k IPS monitor (even a TV if they have space) and a fHD one just for controls.

A blackmagic sdi capture card if they want to use it as a live mixer.

Basically everything they're ready to buy
