Build a $1000 Video Editing PC That Beats the Mac M2 Pro!
PC's or Macs can get expensive, so I wanted to challenge myself to create a $1000 PC that could be good for HEVC/H.264 but also RAW codecs. This is what I would say is the best budget video editing PC right now that you can build!
When I first started out, I followed a part list guide from a YouTuber (who will remain anonymous), and I regretted it. So I wanted to build out for you a build that will actually be good to get started with, but allow for an upgrade path.
