We told him this PC was for a 'client'...then reveal it's for HIM!

**The Build Process: A Behind-the-Scenes Look**

We were excited to share our latest build with Trigg, and we knew he was going to love it. The two of us had planned out the interview, where I would ask him questions about his needs and plans for the new system. But in reality, we were just looking forward to ambushing him with a brand-new, state-of-the-art computer that would blow his mind.

As Trigg arrived at our place, we could sense his excitement. We led him into the room where the new system was set up, and he was immediately struck by its sleek design. "It looks really, really good," he exclaimed. But what might have seemed like a minor detail to some was actually a significant change. The GPU, for example, had been swapped out for a more modern MSI Duke RTX 2070. And the memory kit? Gone in favor of a faster and more reliable 3200MHz kit with lower latency.

We took a moment to explain why these changes had been made. The original memory kit was giving Trigg's system issues when he tried to render footage in Adobe Premiere Pro. It wasn't just a minor inconvenience; it was a full-on blue-screen of death situation that had left him frustrated and stuck. But after swapping out the memory kit, everything seemed to fall into place. And with the new GPU, we were confident that Trigg would be able to take on even the most demanding editing tasks.

As we walked through the system's components, Trigg couldn't help but notice the differences. The CPU, for example, was a 24-core, 48-thread beast of a processor that would handle anything Trigg threw at it. And with 32GB of RAM and an MSI Duke RTX 2070 GPU, this system was poised to deliver exceptional performance.

But what really stood out to us as we set up the interview was the fact that Trigg had been using his current system in a somewhat unconventional way. He was editing on his TV at home, and he loved the HDMI port on the back of his old machine. So, when we swapped it out for our new system with native HDMI capabilities, Trigg was thrilled. "It's super sexy," he exclaimed. "I love it."

As we finalized the build and prepared to hand over the keys to Trigg, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. This system was designed to inspire creativity and push the boundaries of what's possible with video editing software. And with its powerful components and sleek design, it was sure to be a hit.

**The Client: A Personal Touch**

What made this build truly special, however, was the fact that we were building for someone we knew personally. Trigg is a friend and fellow enthusiast who had been struggling with his current system's limitations. We wanted to create something that would not only exceed his expectations but also inspire him to push the boundaries of what he thought was possible.

As we handed over the keys to Trigg, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. This build wasn't just about delivering a high-performance computer; it was about creating a tool that would allow Trigg to pursue his passions with renewed enthusiasm and energy. And as he took his first steps into his new system, we knew that all our hard work had been worth it.

**The Future: Customization and Gaming**

But the build wasn't just about delivering a high-performance computer; it was also about setting up a foundation for future upgrades and customization. With this system, Trigg would have the flexibility to experiment with different configurations and software, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in video editing.

And as we looked at the system, we couldn't help but wonder: just how far could Trigg take it? Would he use this system solely for video editing, or would he also start gaming on it? The possibilities were endless, and we couldn't wait to see what Trigg had in store for us.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eneveryone's got that one friend that's super chill and easygoing and any time you talk to him he makes you feel like you're on a tropical beach and they also have a much cooler name than anybody else you know that would be tricked trig is super committed and passionate about his career which is film he's currently in the film industry he grinds hard every day and when he approached me last week and asked if I could build him a 4k 6 K potentially even an 8k red editing system for his budget of $1,000 I knew that something had to be done and that I had to intervene somehow today's sponsor is the power color Red Devil RX 5700 XT in my testing this card kept a mv7 animator GPU 10 degrees cooler under load than the reference design all bearing fans bring the noise down to a whisper that's virtually silent in most cases the metallic backplate features large cutouts for assistant ventilation and for the first time ever the Red Devil takes on a new look with RGB lighting to learn more click on the link below well you can build a respectable 4k editing machine on that kind of budget you would have to cut some corners and for someone like trig who's taking film in their career and their passion so seriously I figured there was something we could do to help him out not to mention the Mac Mini dual core system that he's currently using to edit is just not cutting it these days so again I've selected all these parts none of this was provided by any sponsors this is all of our own stuff but most of it honestly has kind of just been collecting dust so I know trig can put it to much better use than I can let's start with the CPU here now a lot of the applications that Triggs gonna be using are heavily multi-threaded so I figured high core and thread count was essential for a solid editing system so here we have the AMD risin thread Ripper 2nd gen 29 70 WX this is a 24 Core 48 thread CPU this is an insane amount of power that's absolutely wasted on me so I'm actually pretty excited to give it a new home that'll be living inside of the asrock X 399 Taichi this is actually a board that I purchased myself from Micro Center probably last year for some reason I didn't have an X 399 board on hand for testing and I really needed one that day so I ran to Micro Center when our office was much closer to it bought the board use the board once and then put it back in the box never touched it again so fantastic board tons of i/o beautiful aesthetic yeah it's great speaking of that IO this platform does support a quad channel memory so of course we have 32 gigs of g.skill tread and z RGB ddr4 at 3200 speed we add the trick storage solution is going to be pretty simple in this build we have a one terabyte ms 30 from team group this is a one terabyte SSD so it's MDOT two but it's say two ref three six gigabit per second none of that fancy nvme stuff but still one terabyte of NAND flash storage is not too shabby according to trig he edits off of external drives most of the time so I figured one internal drive would be good enough for now if you ever wanted to add more storage down the line or set up something like a raid array for redundancy he could easily do so in the enthu pro-am from fantex this is a lovely case it's not a new case by any means but still it tried-and-true option in my book it's got that nice mesh front panel so you get plenty of healthy airflow tempered glass side panel power supply shroud very nice spacious interior and tons of water cooling support now for a typical editing system the CPU is generally the star of the show it's handling most of the work whereas the GPU acts more or less like an assistant with assisted rendering and things like that having said that I didn't want to skimp out on a GPU so we have an EVGA GeForce GTX 1084 the wind - I actually used this for a few months in my personal system did a fantastic job the icx cooler from EVGA stays very cool and has plenty of sensors onboard to monitor temperatures and things like that so happy to be using that today now with 24 cores and 48 rising threads we need some heavy duty cooling on board so I have the coarser h15 I RGB platinum this is a 240 millimeter liquid a IO as you can see it's loaded with RGB lighting but more importantly it comes included with two very high-performing ml 140 pro fans which do an excellent job of moving air flow while keeping noise to a minimum for additional cooling in our case we've got some ml 120 pro LED fans also from Corsair again these are some of the best case fans that you can currently buy on the market these are the white LED model so I guess now would be a good time to tell you guys that all the RGB lighting in their system will be changed to white I'm gonna change everything manually to white because I think it's a professional workstation why it is generally a bit more professional looking I mean RGB kind of just says look at me I'm a gamer but I think for a professional workstation white is pretty slick in classic giving life to our system is the cooler master of v8 50 power supply this is also one that I've used here and there it's mostly been used for test builds vinyl there I'm gonna top off the build with some aesthetic touches including some cable mod Pro Series sleeved extensions in black they look oh so nice and also the cable mod wide beam LED kits which is an RGB strip I think it's 60 centimeters and come with comes a little remote and stuff that's very very cool and those are all the pots for this a lovely surprise build if you guys want links to all this stuff I'll put it in the description in case you're interested but the way this is going to work I'm gonna build the system or rot me out and then the two days trig is gonna come over to my place to shoot what he thinks is a little interview where I ask him questions about why he needs to build an what he plans to use it for but you guys already know all that really we're just gonna ambush him with a brand spankin new system that's already built and ready for him to take home and hopefully he breaks down and cries and tells me I'm the best person in the world that's really all I want this is love all right Joe I'm ready are you ready I'm right I'm right yeah we do let's build rig a new computer and the build is compaint it looks really really good but you might notice that certain things have changed for example the GPU is different as is the memory kit why why Kyle did you swap those out of the last minute I'll tell you for starters a system was blue-screen any time I would try to render anything in Adobe Premiere Pro it was because of the memory kit this memory kit for some reason was giving the system issues as soon as I swapped it out boom flawless flawless rendering across the board so now we have virtually the same kit but just non RGB still 3200 speed it's actually faster has a much faster latency I think we're going down to 14 and 34 as opposed to 18 and 38 on these so he's actually getting a better kit just sans RGB and we still have 32 gigs there so that's all good and gravy the GPU was kind of an oddball thing because I completely forgot that this GPUs only HDMI port on the back does not work and trig has informed me that he's editing currently on his TV at home he's been using it apparently for for a while and he enjoys doing it that way so I wanted to give him the option to have native HDMI on the back of course he could use an adapter with something like this but in my experience adaptors were kind of a pain in the butt they don't always work properly and even when they do they put a lot of unnecessary strain on your ports all things considered I decided to swap out the GTX 1080 for an msi duke r-tx 2070 it should be a bit faster I think than the GTX 1080 and of course it's a newer cards gonna get more updated features like ray tracing in case he wants to take advantage of that I don't know if he plans to game on this thing at all but he certainly can if he wants to so yeah that's pretty much the build it looks fantastic I hope Trigg likes it will actually be able to confirm it if he does in just a moment because he's currently on his way and he should be here any minute hey what's going on man come on in I can show you exactly what I've got in store so basically we're gonna do a quick little interview and pick out your parts basically so this is sort of an example of I guess what you could get like down the line because this is probably roughly a three thousand dollar system that I'm building for our client and this is like sort of the end goal this is like what I would confide in if you were actually doing straight-up 8k editing all the time this is actually it's funny the the client who I'm building this for his name's actually trig is that for real yeah yeah it's crazy like and he's from he's well he's actually here right now yeah like in the house oh no yeah are you kidding me no yeah man we pulled some parts together from our own inventory and you're basically looking at around a three thousand dollar system so we've got a twenty four core 48 thread CPU in there pretty much the best editing system that we could put together with parts that we had some of which were new this is your new system cool it's gonna be a story of her people yeah absolutely yeah and I think that's that's also what I had in mind that if people see this build in your house they might have questions about it and it could inspire them to build a system themselves or switch to PC if they're a Mac user or subscribe to my channel which is which is also a flow alright guys that's that's trig build trig what do you what do you think of it I love it it's super sexy I can't wait to actually use it throw some footage into it get colouring test it see how far I can go see what the limits are and then maybe even try to upgrade it and customize it a little bit further it sounds like a great plan to prefer your new system I'm glad you like it man I hope it serves you well hey love it thank you so much yeah I no problem and you should try gaming on this thing a little bit actually I take that back you better game on this thingeveryone's got that one friend that's super chill and easygoing and any time you talk to him he makes you feel like you're on a
