What program are you going to use to edit?

What's the input video resolution? 1080p, 4K?

What's the input video format (AVC, P2, HDCAM)?

Are you going to do any effects?

if you don't know shit about computers and want one for editing/typical pleb use, just get an imac like every other tech illiterate cuckold

er. a multi core cpu, like a ryzen 7 or something. a shit ton of ddr4 ram. 16 minimum, 32 would be more than enough. ssd for your OS, bigger the better. a large 10 terrabyte HDD for video storage. you'll need a decent monitor or can just use a tv, depends if you wanna go 4k, 3D etc. this would also determine what kind of GPU you wanna get. probably something powerful like a 1080 if you want to go all out. I don't know too much about monitors, sorry.

Pretty much any computer at Best Buy will do fine for your purpose.

You will want to get a used workstation from ebay. One which has two Xeon processors in it with six cores each.

What is your budget for this machine?

take this question to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/

they are really great and helped me build my gaming desktop. or they can probably just scout you a decent pre-built if you can't be bothered to do it yourself

>>83844098
i go to asu if that makes you feel better about yourself

>>83844070
i was thinking $700-$1000 should be enough to get what i want done. im ok with it not being the best computer money can buy as long as it gets what i need done efficiently.

just get a dell with an i5 or i7 and make sure it has an SSD and 16 GB of RAM.
