Returning to ITX

Hi All,

After 8 years, I am returning to ITX computer building. My old ITX still running fine, Fractal Design Node 304 build.
Interested to see new interesting cases like formd T1, ncase m1.
I have started getting parts for my build (Air cooled for now). I am not gamer, but planning to some video editing.

Question:
How we build differently if the purpose is video editing vs gaming?

Welcome back and welcome to the forum !
To answer your question: there are good answers both ways (highest clocks, most cores), but it depends on the video editing software you are going to use. Though at the moment AMD Ryzen 3000 is hard to beat in price/performance in productivity applications.

Video editing will be via Adobe Premiere. For CPU considering, Ryzen 7 3700X
Do you know much important is good graphics card for these applications? Is GTX 1080 is good?

3700X is good for Premiere. The only thing is that you will want to be running the very latest Premiere (it might still be beta) that enables GPU encoding, otherwise an Intel CPU with QuickSync will outperform the AMD on that particular task.

A 1080 is a few years old now but will be more than enough for video editing.
