01 The Problem
A gaming and content creator in Venice was running a 6-year-old pre-built that struggled to edit 4K footage while keeping OBS streaming. Render times were 45+ minutes for a 10-minute video. He had a $2,200 budget and wanted to build something that would last 5 years.
02 Our Approach
We selected components optimized for his workload: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (12-core for multi-thread video export), 64GB DDR5 RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (for GPU-accelerated encoding in Premiere Pro and for gaming), 2TB NVMe Gen4 SSD for scratch disk, and a secondary 4TB storage drive. We handled the complete build, thermal paste application, BIOS configuration, Windows optimization, and driver installation. OBS was configured with NVENC hardware encoding.
03 The Result
A 10-minute 4K video now renders in under 6 minutes. He streams 1080p60 simultaneously without frame drops. Gaming performance: Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra averages 72fps. He's been creating daily for 6 months with zero hardware issues.
