I looked into video editing/ content creation recommended hardware. It seems that for video editing, the core and thread count on the CPU plays an important role. And the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor for $549 seems to be the best performance/value proposition. When you get a chance read some of the reviews from video editors and content creators on Amazon:

Once you pick the CPU, afterwards we can pick the motherboard and RAM.

what i do not understand is motherboard and CPU to match good enough for photo/video editing and good enough to play games with 64gb of ram and graphics card around 8gb and power supply to run it.

Hey, so I just realized Maingear stopped selling the cases as standalone again. But I would look into Fractal and Lian Li, similar build quality and aesthetics. Fractal has real nice stuff and it doesn’t break the bank. You can get a very decent midtower for around $100Leave a comment:

You can add dedicated Thunderbolt ports. GPU’s dont come with TB ports unless they are professional workstation cards which are for number crunching / and graphics, not video editing or gaming, and are even more expensive than regular GPU’s. They cost $2-4k and you wouldn’t benefit, to the contrary they are slower in gaming and video editing.
So you can add a dedicated Thunderbolt internal expansion card for around $150 or an external dock for around $300. And then just get the best GPU your budget allows, hopefully a 3070 or 3080
The 3080 is one of the most recommended cards for both gaming and video editing:

USB port wise, I wouldn’t worry, motherboards all have at least 4 in the back, and most cases add more on the side or at the top for your convenienceLeave a comment:

not for cpu. but graphics card need to be GeForce since monitor say GeForce sync i need 2 thunderbolt ports also.Leave a comment:

Hmm ok. Ok, so you have no preference between Intel and AMD? AMD has the best price/performance currently. If you decide AMD, then people can start recommending specific CPU’s, motherboards, RAM etc. And case wise, you’d have to look through and see what catches your eye. The first thing you have to decide is the size. But most mid-tower cases can accommodate several drives and have similar air flow, it comes down to personal taste. And also if you plan to add a full dedicated water cooling loop later. That being said, I built my last system in a Maingear Vybe midtower and I couldn’t be happier. Its very well designed, good airflow, good design in terms of how much stuff it fits (for a mid tower.) It’s priced at around $140 so not terribly expensive. And it has really good minimalist aesthetics IMO. I cant recommend it enough. Also Maingear just started selling their cases as standalone a few years back. Theyre the premier custom pc shop, their systems are $5-10k normally. Do a quick search on the “Maingear Vybe”
If you need the most space then you have to look into a full-tower but as I mentioned, the high end mid-towers are very well designed. It comes down to water cooling like if you absolutely need a thick 360 mm radiator ontop as opposed to a slimmer 240 mmLeave a comment:

need to be around 2,5k for it need about 8 to 10gb video card. also need mother board that has 2 thunderbolt ports and 4 usb ports. also need 64gb of ram. and 2tb stick drive. internal iron wolf drives can get later and add my self but need spot to hold at least 1 for now and able to add 3 more later. but one iron wolf drive needs to be 8tb since have close to 5 to 6 tb in photo and video.

Whats your budget for this? It would be a good start in order to get a good idea of the parts and build we can recommend you. Either way though, even for high end builds, i never recommend getting the highest-end. The price/performance proposition is just not there and even if you have the money it would be better to save it and upgrade more often, maybe even every 2-3 years versus 4+. I dont do video editing but I know you’ll benefit from a beefy GPU and lots of RAM, so you’re on the right track with 64 gigs
Motherboard would depend on whether you go AMD or Intel CPU-wise. But I always build with Asus and Gigabyte, they’re rock-solid. Even more so than MSI. SSD wise, prices are not quite there to do an all SSD build if you need several terabytes, so you would still need a nice spinner. I have a 5 TB Western Digital that hasnt let me down ($90-110) as well as several SSD’s. In my last build, I went with x2 2TB Sabrent nvme’s, ($180-200 each) they are comparable to Samsung and Intel, and have the best price/performance and dollar /gigabyte proposition compared with the other top-tier SSD drives. You can definitely squeeze your dollar further with Sabrent.
PSU wise, I always used Antec in the past but these days Corsair is the market leader. I used an 850W Corsair in my last build — three years in, flawless power delivery. With a Corsair PSU and a high quality motherboard you’re setting the foundation for a rock solid build.Leave a comment:

need help build pc with 2 thunderbolt ports and 4 usb ports photo video editing
since i do photo and video and some gaming new new desktop. need 64gb of ram two ironwolf 8tb hard drives and graphic card at least 8gb or 12gb. also SSD stick drive at least 2tb. since that what i want not sure how to get other stuff. not sure on mother board and other parts want to to be air cooled also. not sure one power supply and other stuff if can link mother board with cpu great. also monitor is likes GeForce cards. so no a link for cpu with mother board that works and show me what else need to go with it.
