Best DaVinci Resolve Video Editing PC Under 2 Lakhs INR for 2024

Processor: For the processor, we are choosing the Intel Core i7 14700F. This is one of the most affordable options when it comes to getting an Intel 14th Generation Core i7 processor. Despite being affordable this is one of the best processors for a DaVinci Resolve video editing PC under 200K INR. As for specifications, it comes with 20 cores (8 P-Cores and 12 E-Cores), 28 threads, and a boost clock of 5.4GHz.

Motherboard: The MSI Pro B760M-A WIFI DDR5 motherboard is what we are using in this build. Since we don’t have a K-series processor, we don’t need the Z-series for overclocking, and a B-series motherboard like this will be just fine. As for specifications and features, it comes with an optimized VRM design featuring Core Boost, Memory Boost and other performance-oriented features, PCIe Gen4, USB 3.2 Gen 1, DDR5 memory supports with speeds up to 6800MHz, 2.5G LAN, and a lot more.

RAM: Just like most other video editing applications, DaVinci Resolve also benefits greatly from having a good amount of RAM which is also sorted in terms of frequency. For those reasons, we are going with the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (32GB x 2) 5200MHz RAM kit.

Graphics Card: For getting the best video editing experience DaVinci Resolve, you need a powerful graphic card. That’s why we are going with the RTX 4070 Ti, as this is the best that we can fit into this budget. We opted for the Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Trinity Black Edition specifically due to its high clock speeds, cooling performance, and Zotac’s extended 5-year warranty.

CPU Cooler: The Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360L Core is going to ensure that our processor does not heat up too much even when we put it under heavy load. The MasterLiquid 360L Core has great cooling performance, and what makes it even better are the design and ARGB lighting.

Storage: Since this configuration is related to video editing, we need a storage device that’s decently large, and is also quite fast. The Western Digital Blue SN580 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD fulfills both the criteria and is thus a perfect pick for this build

SMPS: Coming to the power supply unit or SMPS, we are going with the Cooler Master G800 for this configuration. This 800-watt PSU comes with 80+ Gold certification, reliable and resistant components, CoolerMaster’s reliability and trust along with a 5-year warranty.

Case: Lastly, we have the Cooler Master Masterbox MB520 Mesh as our cabinet/case. This cabinet features a uniquely designed front panel that helps in having smooth and amazing airflow. What helps the airflow even further are the three pre-installed CF120 ARGB fans. Apart from that, it has a removable top panel, ample space to install up to seven 120mm fans, and a 360mm radiator. Overall, this is a solid cabinet in general and will be perfect for this build.

When you are getting a PC configuration specifically for video editing in DaVinci Resolve, then you need to ensure that all of the components are fairly powerful, especially the graphic card. In this application, the graphic card takes the front seat in terms of priority. But, you also need plenty of memory and a decent processor on top of that.

In this configuration, you get the combination of Intel Core i7 14700F, Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Trinity Black Edition, and 64GB of DDR5 memory running at 5200MHz. With such a configuration, you will be able to use the video editing capabilities of DaVinci Resolve to a great extent. The hardware configuration is strong enough to not hinder your creativity and limits when it comes to editing videos.
