His inexperience with computer hardware will probably end up not going well for him, so the iMac will probably be better choice for him then as it is still pretty decent. I am typically an hour away from where he lives so helping him would not be possible in most cases. He may or not be...

He is going to watch it later when he has time.

The entry level Mac Pro will probably be slightly inferior to this build as it would probably use a stock clocked quad-core xeon and an AMD card which is not as good for CS6 as a Nvidia one. My friend is currently deciding whether he wants this build or a $2800 iMac. His main concern with the...

I actually have a Windows-based computer that has a 4.4 Ghz 3770k and a Gtx 660. I can let him test it (I use CS6 as well), however the only issue is that I use a 1 TB WD Black drive, which is definitely not going to have as fast of a disk i/o. He can definitely see how it can handle extremely...

That is the great thing about the hackintosh. You can always add more storage to the computer in the future. Raw footage if I am right, tends to require better disk i/o speeds then actual processing power (compared to something like AVCHD). This build will provide a good amount of disk i/o so it...

He said that they will probably use 4k cameras in their 3rd/4th year. His current computer is too slow for his editing needs, so he wants a computer now that can handle raw 4k footage. He will probably buy a 4k camera one day when the prices go down (4k for a 4k camera right now). What is...

Here is the final planned build without any monitor: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.99 @ Amazon Canada) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($43.85 @ Newegg Canada) Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard...

I will look into current video editing rigs that there are to see if there are any that are good. Also my friend already has a 27 inch screen he recently bought that he wants to use. It is just a 1080p monitor though. I would have probably chose two 24 inch monitors for him anyways as there are...

I will check with my friend later to see if he is fine with the reduced functionality. I personally use a 4.4 Ghz 3770k and I found it to be very nice to use. Of course it is slower, which may be an issue when he uses multi-cam footage, and 4k footage (possibly). he really wants this rig to last...

Hello, A friend of mine is planning to buy a $2,800 iMac to use for video editing and some gaming (He is a film student). He wants the computer to be as fast as possible when working with Adobe software. I told him that I can build him an Hackintosh that is faster at the same price point. I am...
