Gaming PC, good for other video-related things?

>>60788141
Your brother is fucking your girlfriend.

>>60788324
This. Dump her and install Gentoo.

>>60788333
She isn't an android you can't install gentoo in her

>>60788370
Bullshit. Have you ever even tried?

>>60788324
My brother wouldn't do that. I'm pretty sure he's dickless.
Then again... >>60788333
Trips don't lie,I guess...

Kek, your gf is being dicked by your brother and you're too dumb to see it.

>>60788506
Why? Because she wants to give him something he'll be needing?

>>60788382
This will do all of his professional work and play any game on the market easily. There are obviously a lot of ways to cut costs on this build, but if money is no object here you go. You could also make it much more expensive. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pq7NHN

>my girlfriend wants to give my brother a thousand-dollar+ gift because he's feewing sad
they bangin

>>60788517
>she wants to give him something he'll be needing
Nigger, I could understand her wanting to get him a decent monitor or a decent part for a high end PC that he's already planning on building soon. But no sane person buys someone they're not even dating a gift that's a couple thousand minimum unless they're fucking them and are rich, or they are so obscenely rich that dropping a few grand to them is like giving out spare change. So she is either fucking your brother or is worth fucking millions. And it could be and likely is both.

>>60788559
Dude, she also offered a full drum kit to my sister because she has to go to her school on Saturdays or stay late on the week days to practice. And those are expensive.
Fortunately my little sister told her she appreciates the thought but couldn't accept it. Is my little sister also banging my lady, or could it be that my GF is just too generous for her own good and also has too much money?
Gave my niece some antique toys from her own collection for her birthday, and she's not gonna appreciate that. I bet she broke it already. I used to tell her to be more careful with her money but there's no point, she won't listen.
I have to keep a secret which games and consoles I want because if I mention them she buys them for me, and no, it's not a blessing. It's just wasteful.

>>60788528
You=a bro. Thanks.

>>60788635
>Is my little sister also banging my lady,
yes
you have a potential lesbo pedo
fear for your eventual coming of your wife's son

There's a lot of speculation about my girl and her sexual escapades, especially considering I asked what is likely a yes/no question.

What is this? The Internet?

>>60788826
Welcome to 4chan.

Check logicalincrements.com, pick your budget and you're good to go

>>60788324
This. Install Gentoo

>>60788635
She is fingerblasting her too

>>60788826
>my girl
lol more like your bros, bro

>>60788906
Thanks. I know I have options, the heart of the question basically was "can my bro actually use a fun PC to pretend he's a movie maker", and I guess the answer is yes.
I totally didn't want to give him something he won't be able to actually use.

>>60788934
Ain't.

>>60788382
He doesn't need to use his dick. He uses a fuckmaster 5000 black 8" dildo to stretch her out and dick her cervix raw

>>60789006
Is that what he uses? On a girl who is literally afraid of electricity to the point where I have to unplug the microwave oven and toaster every night? He uses a fuckmaster 5000 black 8" dildo on her?
For some reason I don't think so.

>>60789049
are you dating chuck mcgill

>>60789055
No, because he's a fictional character.
But fuck is that show good. Last episode made me realise I'll be sad when Chuck kills himself.

Oh, sorry. Spoilers...

>>60789049
Well don't ask us for sympathy when you hear chuckette mcgill over there moaning from your brother's place

Also get a 1080 graphics card and a ryzen

>>60788141
He needs it to make facefucking vids with your gf

>>60789108
Sure, my brother and my girlfriend are gonna make facefucking vids.
And I guess this thread has taught me that a powerful Gaming PC is something he will be able to use to edit those porno videos that will make me kill them and then myself. Right?

Actually anything with a quad core and +8 gigs of ram can render videos pretty well. If he uses linux, blender's video editing is surprisingly solid

>If he uses linux
He doesn't. Should he?
He's a smart guy. I have never used anything other than Windows and MacOS 9 and I'm not sure I could figure out Linux.

>>60789187
For video editing he'll have far far more choices on win/mac: Vega, Aftereffects, etc. Stuff would be a pain in the ass to get running in WINE.

I don't know much about Apple but ideally get him Windows 7 and update the security patches immediately. Getting "wannacry" is just asking for a bridge jump

Oh! Good point.
I guess I never even considered the OS. Thanks for bringing that up, guys.
>>60789218
Why Windows 7?

>>60789264
Without getting into botnet memes, the Windows10 window management and start menu is a huge hamper on workflow. I spend extra time fighting the interface than making content.

I personally use linux (manjaro / ubuntu) and win7 for drawing and 3d modeling - but if I was doing video, especially serious production, I would go for a win7 or a mac.

Win10 is only good for games

>>60789313
Also I've tried customizing Win10 but it required a lot of futzing with the registry.

Which will be the secondary use of the PC. But I guess I can install 2 different OS in the thing.
One for me to play and one for my bro to do movies. Much like how we used to have our own refrigerator trays when we lived together.

>>60789377
Windows 7 can play most things right now and probably for the next five-ten years. After that stuff for directx12 (win 10 only) will start to come out.

I'm looking some of these parts online and they're not cheap, baby.
Please tell me they last for several years, at least.

>>60789555
do they last for several years? yes
will they be "good" for several years? no

a gaming pc is not a good metric, because video work wants massive RAM > a high-end CPU > GPU is basically useless unless you're doing intensive 3D rendering - gaming PC wants the beefiest GPU you can afford > midrange CPU > 8gb RAM is more than enough.

that said, most "gaming pc" specs go overboard on CPU and RAM, which makes them acceptable if mediocre for video editing. and most editing workstation specs are good for most gaming if you drop a good GPU in. >>60788528 's build will do both jobs well even though it's it's a compromise that isn't quite optimal for either.

on the video side it also depends how technically-oriented he is, too.

>>60789629
Makes sense.

I haven't used a Mac for years. They're still crap for games, right?

>>60789777
Definitely

They are hands-down the worst for gaming

>>60789929
Off topic, I guess, but I always wanted to know why.
Why is Apple so opposed to optimise the hardware for gaming?

>>60789968
It hasn't been a battle they could win as long as DirectX was so important, is the big thing. That might change as Vulkan becomes relevant and more devs come from a mobile or PS4 background and know OpenGL rather than a Windows/Xbox background and know DX.

The gamer market also wants drop-in upgrades for obvious reasons, but Apple has made a lot of money selling precisely engineered systems on the hardware side, while on the software side they neither have the marketshare to demand polished drivers for everything nor the staff to write them themselves.

But if it changes, it's more likely to be as the mass gaming market continues to lose interest in high performance, and evergreen GaaS titles start pegging high settings/60fps on Macs because at least they're not as bad as the Netburst P4s still clogging Chinese internet cafes.
