I’ve already posted this on a forum on pcpartpicker but no one replyed;

hello everyone tks for clicking on my post. so i have a laptop I’ve using for 2years now just watching learning video editing by watching tutorials on it and i found out that video editing apps are very demanding specially adobe apps… my dell latitude 5590 re-brushed i bought for 3000 Moroccan DH (around 300$) ( i5 8th gen / 8gb ram / intel UHD graphics 620) can’t run these apps… so i find myself obligated to build a PC. but i have a low budget so I’m gonna need to buy re-brushed parts. I’m new to this… I’m asking for your help guys!!

I just wanna build a PC that can run premiere and after effects smoothly for video editing at 1080p I don’t edit at 4k so i don’t need a super build.

Note: the budget below is just for the PC not the Peripherals too.

  • Budget: 400$ - 600$
  • Location: Morocco
  • Use : video editing (premiere and after effects).
  • Peripherals required (monitor, keyboard/mouse, etc): since it’s my first build i need everything the mouse, the keyboard, and the monitor.
  • Operating System required: windows 11 pro.

I want in advance to thank everyone in this forum who give his time in effort to help nobs like me! much respect for you guys!

    I think at this budget you have to look at second hand. You’re not buying current gen hardware anyway since just a graphics card is $300 and you still need to build.

    If you get someone’s old AM4 build with an old GPU that can handle your current needs that platform has a lot of upgrade paths. You can always add RAM and upgrade the CPU later if you Lille

    Unfamiliar with prices or availability in Morocco so I’m not sure how much help I can be there, but one piece of advice I can give to help your budget work is to definitely not pay for windows. A win11 pro key would cost almost half your budget, at least in Canada, and you can literally just install it direct from Microsoft for free then activate it immediately and freely with the Microsoft Activation Script (MAS, it’s on GitHub). Good luck!
