With the upcoming release of a consumer-level 8K video camera from Canon in the EOS R5—comes the neverending challenge of getting a powerful enough PC for working with top-of-line video capture output. So, what computer parts are needed for processing 8K video files? Let’s take a look at some components!
The 6-core Ryzen 5 1600X and 1600 are an interesting pair for PC builders.
For both gaming and content creation, having a 6-core/12-thread CPU for the $220-250 price point is excellent. As such, we’re going to create two powerful example builds to give you an idea for what you can make yourself.
The 1600X and 1600 can be used interchangeably with the two builds, so feel free to swap as you see fit!
