Looking to build an AMD Desktop PC (for virtualization and 4k video editing) - preferably mini-itx system

G'day guys,

I am planning to build a desktop pc for above mentioned tasks. I am not a gamer but my son might start playing PC games in future, so have to keep that in mind when building the system.
I have never build an AMD nor used before so this will be my 1st AMD build. My current system is Intel i5-6500 with 48GB of memory. 1x 1TB nvme, 2x 128gb nvme (RAID 0) as boot drive, 2x 500GB SSDs and 2x 1TB HDD(mechanical).

I will be using some of my old PC's parts (memory, SSDs and NVME) drive in my new build so I am after CPU, MB and Graphic card only. I already have the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX case for the build.

If I can get your input regarding the build please. I am looking to build AMD Ryzen 9 3900X but not sure what MB to choose from? Also, I am not sure if I need the high end graphic card as I will be using Adobe Premier Pro. If yes, is gigabyte 1060 6gb card is enough?

    Is the go to place for putting together an OzBargainer's build. You can check out 1000's of completed builds, view really useful build guides and put together your own build list with parameterized searches to find the best price components and check compatibility.

  • When I built my 1st AMD system (2600x), I used buildzoid's reviews for mobos.
