Message: <blockquote data-quote="PaulP" data-source="post: 1281" data-attributes="member: 363">Hello All,I am newly retired from a major aerospace company and have dabbled in video and 3D projects as hobbies for some time.  I just found about DAZ 3D and have started to learn the aspects of using the program.  I am also very interested in video editing, want to start editing my old tapes and put together new ones.  I purchased PowerDirector 19.  I have two go-pro cameras and a DSLR for video projects.  As a Christmas present to myself I am looking to build a robust desktop that will support both activities.  From a lot of online reading, it looks like I'll need to find a compromise as I believe the build will need a decent CPU and GPU(s).  I hope a budget of $2.5 to $3k will get me something that will provide great to superior performance.  Am I being realistic or a bit naive?  High quality products are my goal as I intend to produce historical content YouTube videos.  I am hoping to get a CPU recommendation from the community and build a box around that.</blockquote>
