    hi folks,

    time for a pc upgrade.

    My old unit cannot handle 4k video editing (gopro/ & drone footage). An old i7 870 (15+ years old), GeForce GTX1660ti, 650w ps
    Main item is hobby 4k video editing - just my motorcycle gopro & drone footage. 

    A small amount of fps gaming but nothing heavy at all.
    Recommendations for a build ? amd or intel chip, atx case, mb, ps, gc and m2 hard-drive and memory.

    Intel - Core i9 or an 1851 Core Ultra 7, no knowledge of amd. 


    I have windows, multiple ssd's and peripherals, so just a base unit really. €1500 to spend - and that will include two new 32" HD monitors 
    Plus ideas on monitors too please. Currently have two 24" monitors but want two 28/32" HD monitors. 


    any recommendations for the above build ?

    Just looking thru parts builder - this may be tight at €1k. So can extend that to €12/1300 seeing as it will be with me for years. Plus monitors on top.
    Thanks
