What is the best PC for video editing?

Artificial Intelligence may be quietly taking over the world but one area where it’s virtually useless is video editing. Video editing is a matter of taste and judgment and requires an innate understanding of how to build character, create suspense, propel action, or linger for emotional impact; you can’t yet teach an algorithm all of that. But knowing how to edit is not enough. You also need the right equipment. In this brief article, we’re going to take a quick look at what makes the best PC for video editing.

Gaming PCs for video editing

“Wait” you’re thinking “Gaming PCs for video editing?” That’s right. You see, while gaming PCs are known to be tuned for moderate CPU usage, modern GPUs incorporated into many new gaming PCs are also useful in facilitating the editing process because they include specialised chips that are dedicated solely to video encoding.

The only significant alteration you’ll need to make to a high-end gaming PC to convert it to a high-end video editing PC is to add RAM. Most gaming PCs come with 16GB and rarely, if ever use all of that.
