Hi all,

Am looking to get a PC for around 2200EUR (excl tax.)

I want to know if I have done my research right, or if anyone knows of what I could improve in the build without drastic price changes.

I'd say use case is 80% Video editing (4K, 1080P - DaVinci Resolve workflow H265 & 4:2:2 10 BIT with Occassional Pro Res and/or Pro Res RAW shot through a Ninja Atomos V &FX30 + A7V Sony Cameras) Heavy Color Grading and when needed a DeNoise are big parts of the process. Not too much CRAZY VFX, but am hoping to get into it more and some basic Unreal Engine soon, but this is a long way to go, so no wow needs there for now just enough to get into it and learn.)

I have 2 SSDs already at home, one 1tb the other 2tb that I want to respectively use to separate out my OS & Applications / Footage / Cache-writes.

For gaming, I'm not a fps hunter, I don't care if I'm pushing the complete max out of the game. I just casually want to play recent games without crazy lag/stutters or issues and be able to occasionally stream some for fun.

Would the below do and be most efficient for my use case or are there better options? The RAM & SSD prices are really abysmal, and to be fair I don't feel like the graphics card are at a proper price point either... Or I might just be too long out of the game. :)

Any advice or just go for it?

Hello fellow professionals, dabblers and beyond.

At this moment I own an FX30. I handle all my videography clients pretty nicely with my set of lenses for it. I have it rigged out sometimes, sometimes I don’t. The only occasional struggle I encounter is a select few low-light scenario’s and an occasional client saying “Hey could you take some photos of … as well, we can pay extra.” and not being able to deliver top notch on that front.

Because of this the FX3 is not on the table for my next question. (Even though the price would be only €400 in difference.)

As I have good deals on the table, and some budget open. I would like to demote my FX30 to a B-Cam.

As an A-Cam I have following options (New):
€3700 for each bundle
- Sony A7S3 w. 24-70 GM II
- Sony A7V w. 24-70 GM II

€3000 for bundle:
- Sony A7S3 w. Sigma 24-70 ART II
- Sony A7V w. Sigma 24-70 ART II

As I’ve only seen a limited few YT reviews on the A7V and it being pretty new… I have no idea what the better deal is. I still want to avoid the FX3 cause photography is really drawing me in more and more lately, but not sure if I’ll regret having the same “used to it” feel with my FX30. Although adapting isn’t an issue.

As far as comparing the A7SIII vs the V… I’m not sure if I can really think of anything apart from age to be a factor…. Is there something I should keep in the back of my mind? Plus would the GM be better than the ART for the €500 euro more as a bundle?

For these prices, I really am down to this last battle of doubt.

What are your thoughts comrades?

Thanks

Edit: Actually one thing does scare me - overheating… Judging by reviews I’ve seen that is the only thing leaning me towards the A7V where it apparently vastly improved. Does anyone have actual real
world experience with this being the case?

Edit 2: I went with the A7V.
