Help me build a PC for School Video & Photo Editing - Jinu - Aug 11, 2025
Need help building a PC for my school work: editing videos (1080p, CapCut, Premiere Pro), designing posters in Canva, multitasking with Chrome, and storing lots of photos/videos. I want smooth, lag-free performance
Budget-friendly but reliable, should last 5+ years. Need monitor with good colour accuracy, keyboard & mouse. Open to Intel or Ryzen.
Thanks in Advance.

You didn't provide a budget, so I put together a low-cost machine that should be a banger for 1080p video.

How much are you willing to spend exactly? The build listed above is solid but we could perhaps go even cheaper if required.

Fortunately/ unfortunately I got i7 4th gen PC. I don’t know whether it can handle. I’ll use it for now. Thanks.
