Last Updated: 07 October 2023


Budget Video Editing Build (₹50,000)

Capable of professional and amateur video editing work at 1080p resolution. Faster than laptops 2-3x the price. You can edit 4K too, but it won't be as comfortable as with a faster build. The Intel i3-12100F is a great value CPU for video editing. Great bang for your buck!

This build is for video editors who want a very capable PC for editing high-quality 1080p video on a tight budget. For the price, this build boasts a capable 4-core CPU and a fast, affordable PCIe SSD. You could squeeze out even greater performance by upgrading to 16 GB RAM, but that is not necessary. If you want more storage space, you can easily add more HDDs or SSDs.


Power Video Editing Build (₹90,000)

Graphics Card: RX 6600

Motherboard: ASRock B650M PG

Storage: 1TB Intel SSD

Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 650

For pro-grade video editing work up to 4K resolution, while still keeping the budget manageable.

A more powerful, more well-rounded package. The CPU and GPU are a good deal faster, and more RAM and a larger SSD are added too. The power supply is again a high-quality choice, and the case is slightly better. This machine will handle 4K video editing. If you want more storage space, you can easily add more HDDs or SSDs.


Professional Video Editing Build (₹149,000)

Graphics Card: RX 6700 XT

Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z790

Storage: 2TB Intel SSD

Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 750

The sweet spot for having an extremely powerful machine for a reasonable price. The newest-generation 14-core, 20-thread i5-13600K offers huge value and high efficiency. This build also increases the speed and quality of the rest of the components substantially, including a much more powerful GPU, twice the RAM, and much more storage capacity. This machine would also be excellent for gaming and pretty much anything else you would want to use a PC for.


Supercomputer Video Editing Build (₹199,000)

Graphics Card: Radeon RX 6800

Storage 1: 512GB Intel SSD

Storage 2: 2TB Intel SSD

Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 850

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master ML360L

For when you need to edit the next IMAX movie, or just want even better performance at 4K. Good editing performance at 6K, and 8K may be doable.

An extremely powerful PC. Diminishing returns are just beginning to set in, but you're still getting noticeably better performance here. Everything is faster and nicer. The newest-generation 12-core, 24-thread AMD R9 7900X provides huge single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. A powerful cooler keeps the CPU cool and quiet.

There's also tons of RAM and blazing fast storage, with the option to easily add more. And there's an extremely high-quality, high-efficiency power supply. As we said above, this PC handles 4K as well as any PC out there, and 6K and even 8K are getting more reasonable. This machine would also be excellent for PC gaming.
