Are you trying to build a website?

Hello everyone this is a video brought to you by Knowledge desire.

I am Christos and today I'm going to show you how you can build your own website in 5 simple steps.

The times where you needed to know code in

order to build a website are now gone, now anyone can build a website using ready-made

design templates and drag and drop utilities, so watch until the end of this video to find out how.

OOHH and another thing at the end of the video i have included a PDF

file that will help you drive more traffic to your website.

With all that being said lets start building our website.

For building the website we are going to use a free and extremely popular content management system called WordPress.

With Wordpress and the right tools we can create dynamic websites online shops and more.

WordPress also supports building websites with just drag and drop utilities and that

is what I'm going to teach you in this video.

The website we are building today is a simple website about a fictional gym called gymtron.

The website consists of three important pages which are probably a requirement for your

own website as well.

First we have the homepage that displays content about the several services offered by the

gym a testimonials section a gallery and prices section, moving on we have the about us page

that shows details about the team or the personnel of the gym and finally we have the contact

us page that displays a map several location details and a form that users can fill up

directly and contact the gym.

Here we see how the page will be displayed on a mobile phone.

Mobile support is an important aspect that I want to make you aware of since this is

something that you definitely need to take into consideration as many people will use

their phone to view your website, based on a google study, 50 to 60% of google searches

happen from a phone.

Taking all those into consideration stay with me and let's jump to the first step of building

your website that is choosing a domain name.

For building a website we require two main things one of them being the domain name.

The domain name in Simple Words is the URL for your website, that is the link that people

will use to navigate to your website, in our case at knowledge Desire our domain name is

Knowledgedesire.com.

Now once you come up with a good domain name that represent your brand or business,

you will have to check the availability of it.

For checking the availability of your domain first you need to click the link under this

video, from there you will find a tool that can tell you about the availability of your

domain. In my case the domain name I want for this website is gymtron.com. Enter the domain

name and click check availability.

If the domain name is available then we can move to the second most important step of

building your website that is registering with a web hosting provider.

A hosting provider is simply a service that keeps your website online at all times.

Here at knowledge desire after research we have concluded to follow Bluehost as the hosting

provider for our website there are many reasons why we suggest that you do the same also.

Bluehost is one of the top hosting services out there and one of the hosting solutions

suggested by the creator of WordPress. Other than that Bluehost provides you with a free

domain name upon registration super fast web page loading times, a Great 24/7 support and

a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you don't like this the service.

Now let's register an account with bluehost so we can put our website online and start

the building process.

For your registration click on the blue button and please note that this button is gonna

grant you with an exclusive discount of up to 60%.

Here as we can see bluehost has dropped from $7.99 to $3.95 because of the discount link.

Moving on we want to click the get started button.

As you can see bluehost provides three hosting plans if you are building a single business

or personal website like I will teach you in this video you can follow me and select

the basic plan.

In case though you are thinking to build multiple websites under the same web hosting account

you can go with a more advanced option, in any case you can select your plan of choice

and follow the next steps normally.

Now after selecting the hosting plan you will have to enter your domain name on the box

and click next.

From there on, you will have to provide the information to the register form.

In the account information section provide all information required.

I will quickly do this and hide the details for obvious reasons.

Now the packages information is an important section where you will choose the number of

months you want to register for.

As you can see by increasing the number of months, the price per month drops.

Usually if you are building a website you want it for more than one year, except if

you are building something for a temporary project.

In my case since I'm building a business website I would select the 3 year plan.

Note that bluehost provides the domain name for free as i promised.

The package extras section contains several tools and services that you can include in

your purchase. The only extra i would suggest here it's the domain name privacy protection.

This is used to protect your registration data from the public.

Usually anyone from the Public can view the owner of a domain name using legitimate online

tools, but if you have this protection purchased no one will be able to see your information.

Finally after selecting your package extras you will have to provide a valid credit card

for the purchase take place.

After entering all the relevant information check the two check boxes and click submit.

Once the registration is done bluehost will take you to a page where you have to provide

a password for your account.

Click set password and provide a password for your account.

From there click login and Bluehost will login you to the account automatically.

Remember that after the registration is done and after you have set your password all your

relevant information of how to login in Bluehost and how to find your website will be sent

to your email.

Now we are going to the third step of our video which is installing WordPress with a

single click.

Bluehost provides this awesome single click functionality and it's starts by allowing

us to select a theme.

Themes are simply prebuilt designs that we can use on our wordpress website.

You can think of it as a template that we will edit further on.

For the website i am building I will be using the hestia theme.

Simply hover over the hestia and click use this theme.

Now bluehost will automatically set up your website and install the theme for you.

Once all the components of our website are done installing just click start building,

from there on bluehost will redirect us to the backend of our website.

In case you are wondering the backend is simply the control panel of WordPress that is accessible

only by you the owner or the administrator of the website.

Here you can change several settings for the website and create content for it, content

includes pages and even posts in case you're building a blog, so as you realised by now

this is the place we gonna be using to create our website.

In case you haven't realized the domain name displayed on the top of our browser is not the domain name you

purchased. The reason for this is because once you buy a domain name it takes some time

for it to be active, now in that case Bluehost provides us with a temporary domain name so we can work on

our website until the normal domain name is active.

Also remember that to access your website's backend without first logging in bluehost,

you can always navigate to yourdomain.com/wp-admin and there you can log in using your website's

credentials.

Before we move on to the next step of editing our website's pages let's just click I

don't need help and finally let's launch our site for it to be visible to the public.

Moving on we will jump to the fourth step of building our website which is installing

and editing the three pages templates.

Now that our wordpress is fully installed and published we can begin building the website.

The way we can view our website is by going to this home icon and clicking on it, in my

case I will open in a new tab.

As you can see this is a really empty page So Let's Begin building it.

Initially we need to hover over appearance and go to hestia options, remember hestia

is our theme and here there are some recommended actions we have to make in order to build

the website.

Here we have to install the orbit fox plug-in.

This will allow us to download different templates or (ready made pages) so we can edit them

as we like.

Once this plug-in is installed and activated you can see it appears here and by hovering

over it you can go to the template directory offered by the plugin.

There we can browse various templates that we can use.

In our case we are using the contact us, the about our business, and the material homepage

templates.

Let's Begin by editing the material Homepage.

Click install and import and this will download the template and it will open it in a drag and drop editor.

Click yes on this message.

So before we start editing the page let's understand some basic concepts.

Here we are using elementor for editing our page.

Elementor is a site builder that allows us to create web pages using drag and drop.

It provides us with several elements that we can use to build our page.

Other than elements Elementor provides us with several positioning tools, like sections,

inner sections and columns.

Now here we can see a section which is the heading section and below there is another

services section.

Moving on by clicking this dotted button we can edit the section using this left panel.

Inside this section we have another inner section that contains columns.

The section is divided in two columns and each column contains different elements.

The first column contains two heading elements and a button and the other column has a video

in it.

Initially I want to change the background of the first section, to do this we click

on section and then style, click on the image and then the image uploader will open.

We then upload the file we want and wait for the upload to be done.

Finally click insert media.

As you can see this image is a bit dark so I want to change it's opacity.

To do this go to background overlay and drop the opacity.

Very nice, now in my case I would like to remove this column and the video inside it,

so I will totally delete the column.

Moving on I would like to change the text of this button, so by clicking on it i can

change the text property.

Also I want to change the icon that is inside button, for this simply go to the icon dropdown

and search for a relevant icon.

Finally for this section I want to change the main heading to my gym's name, and then

provide some text that i would like to show to my customers.

Moving to the services section I will delete the column that contains the iPhone as I don't

need it.

As we can see though now all the services that appear to be in a single column and this

is not really nice as the services are stacked.

Note that the services by the way are a single element that has settings bundled together,

so to change this and have all the services in line we need to change the settings from

one column to 4 columns.

From there I will change the icon position for all the services to be in the centre and

increase it's size, also as you can see the position of the text seems wrong so I will

move it in the centre by changing the content alignment to center, let's also edit the

heading element, move the title in the center and then change it using the title property.

Finally for this services element as you can see we have little expansion panels for changing

the title, description and icon for each service.

First I will change the title for each service….

Then change the icons….. and finally change the descriptions.

Note that by clicking the add icon at the bottom you can add another service to the

services section.

Now let's move on and edit the testimonials section.

Initially I will change the section's background by going to style.

Upload the new image, wait for it to upload and then insert media.

Now our background is set.

Moving one let's change the title in the heading section and then remove the subtitle

at the bottom.

Now i have already copied the text i want for the testimonials and i will go through

each one of the testimonials and paste the text inside the text editor.

Then I will go through each testimonial and i will change the name of each person.

The name is a heading so we simply change the title property for each.

I'm going to also change the picture of each person in the testimonials.

By clicking on the first image I can upload all the images I need for the testimonials

and simply select the first one for that testimonial, I will then repeat the same steps for the

rest of the testimonials quickly.

Finally i will remove this small heading at the top of each picture

Next, let's edit the next section and create a gallery for our homepage.

I will change the title to some of our photos, remove the subtitle as i don't need it and

also delete the inner section thay contains those two stories.

Now lets drag a new element that is an image carousel.

From there i will go to the properties of the carousel and add images on it.

Select the images you want.

Now once those images are uploaded wordpress will ask you to create a gallery, just click

create new gallery and then insert the new gallery.

Now as you can see all the photos appear here.

Finally I would want to increase the image size so let's make it 300 pixels by 300

pixels.

Lastly for this page let's Create our pricing table.

Now each of those cards it's a pricing table element that has several properties that we

can change and modify to our liking.

Initially I will change the title of the first prising table and then its price.

Note that you can also change the period for each pricing table, you could enter anything from months

to minutes.

Next I will change the features for the pricing table.

Perfect let's now edit the text of the button.

Expand the button settings and change the text of it.

We can also add a link on the button for redirecting our user to a booking page for example.

Now i will edit the rest of the pricing tables quickly.

Congrats our homepage is done.

We can simply now update and save the changes of the page.

Then let's move outside of the editor and let's begin editing our next template.

Once wordpress redirects you outside the elementor builder navigate to orbit fox template directory

for picking the next template.

Select the about our business template and click import for the template to be opened

in the elementor editor.

Here as we can see we have the header with a nice video playing at the back, initially

we want to change the title to about our gym and then we want to remove the video and add

our own picture at the back.

Simply select a picture and upload a picture of you linking.

Once the upload is done click insert Media but note that once the picture is loaded it's

not showing.

The reason is that we have to remove the video link.

Also note that this video is coming from YouTube so you can choose your own video from YouTube

as your background if you like.

Moving on I will delete several sections and just keep the section that I need for projecting

the pictures for the personnel of the gym.

I will also delete the map here as we will have a map inside our contact page later on.

So Let's begin by editing the first card, I will simply upload all the pictures for

my personel and I will select the first one for the first card, insert media and as we

Insert media and as we can see the first picture is changed.

Then I would change the heading beneath this picture and give it the name of the person

displayed and lastly I will change the description with some text.

I will also edit the rest quickly.

Perfect, now we are done editing this page, let's click update for the settings to be

saved.

Ohh and something else I want also to remove that button below the title so I will simply

delete it, save the changes again and exit the editor.

Again let's go back to the orbit fox plug in the templates directory and let's choose

the next template for our next page which is the contact us page.

Select it and click import.

Inside this template we will keep most of the things as they are.

The only thing missing here is a form but we will correct this later.

Starting off I will add a new address to be displayed on the map.

Once the new address is set you will see that the map direction changes, note that we can

also adjust the zoom for a better view.

Moving on, lets edit the area of the contact form, I will remove this text and then I will

edit the short code.

You might be wondering what is the short code, this is simply a code that we can use to call

functions from another plug ins, in our case we will insert a short code that displays

a form on our contact page.

Now I will remove the default shortcode and leave it empty for later.

Next I will change the colour of the icons at the section here and I will make them orange

so that they match our homepage style.

Finally let's save and exit the editor for installing the contact form plug-in so that

we can get the short code we need.

To install a new plugin in wordpress just hover over plugins and select add new, there

search for contactform 7.

So here it is, install it, and once the plugin is installed click activate.

When the contact form plugin is activated we will see a new tab on the righthand side

called contact.

Simply click on it and you will see a list containing contact forms. In our case the contact for it's going to be one.

Locate and copy its shortcode and let's go back and add it inside our template.

Navigate to pages find the contact us page and click edit with elementor.

Finaly for this page find the shortcode element and let's paste the new shortcode in it,

then we click apply and there is the form.

Update the page and exit Elementor.

If you have watched until here keep watching for the final step, that is personalizing

our website.

Now before we move on let's check how our website looks like.

hmm here as you can see we need to change the title of the website and the homepage

itself as it is not displaying anything yet.

In WordPress we select which one of our pages is going to be homepage.

So let's go and change the title and the homepage of the site. Hover over the settings and click general.

At the top of this page there is something called site title, remove whatever is inside this textbox

and add your site's name.

Finally go to the bottom and click save changes.

Once the settings are saved you have to navigate to the reading section of the settings for

selecting which page will be your homepage.

From the dropdown select the material homepage to be your homepage and then save the changes.

Then navigate back to the pages section of WordPress were we can see all of our pages.

Before we do anything here though let's check how our website looks like now that we have

change the default homepage.

As you see everything is in place, all sections display normally.

Note though that we also need to add a menu so that we can allow our user to easily navigate

through the pages.

Before we do this let's tidy up things.

Go back to pages and let's remove the pages that we do not want.

As you can see we are left with the homepage, the contact us page and the about us page.

Now let's change the names of those pages to something that fits our situation.

To edit the title of the page simply click edit and the WordPress editor will open up.

Form there we can click on the top where the title is found and change it, then click update

and then changes will be saved.

Now let's change the title of the next page.

Contact us page is fine I will keep it as it is and edit the material of the homepage.

I will simply change this title to home.

Update this.

Now that we are done naming our pages let's create a menu for our site.

Simply hover over appearance and go to menus, In WordPress when creating menus we have to

provide them with a name, so let's call it main menu.

Now click create and once the menu is created we will add pages in it.

In my case I will add all 3 pages.

Then using the plus symbols on the side we can choose an icon for each page on the menu.

After choosing the icons for each of your pages we can then change the ordering of the

pages using drag and drop.

Finally click save menu and once the settings are saved let's hop to our theme which is

found under appearance.

There we need to tell the theme that we want a specific menu to be displayed on the top

right for our website.

Simply click on themes and customise the active theme which is hestia

in our case.

From here we can go to the menus section and select the main menu as our primary menu.

Click publish and you will see on the top right that we have our menu set.

One thing that we need to fix though is the colouring as it is not consistent.

When hovering over the menu the text becomes pink and as you can also see, this button

here is also pink.

To fix those inconsistencies we simply have to go in the appearance settings and change

the public colour of our theme.

Here I will paste the colour code I want for my theme which is this orange colour.

Now click publish and there it is, the color is changed.

If we switch the page we see the color of our menu has also changed, so now let's go

and add a logo to our page.

To do this simply go to the beginning and select site identity, from there select a logo

and upload it.

Once the logo is uploaded we will have the chance to crop it and edit it as we like.

Click crop image and the logo.

Publish the changes and exit the customizer using the X button on the top left.

Now that we made those nice changes let's go and view our site

As you can see the logo and menu are displaing as expected.

Now by clicking on top menu we can switch between pages.

The coloring is applied as well.

The about us page also displays fine as we can see.

and this applies to all pages.

By clicking the logo we can also navigate to the homepage. Now let's use the developer

tools of Chrome to check if our website is fully mobile responsive.

To do this simply go to Chrome settings tools and then select development tools or you can

just hit F12 button on most browsers.

From there simply click the mobile tablet button and the browser window will change

to the size of a mobile phone.

Unfortunately though we have some alignment issues and some elements overlapping others,

so let's fix this. Navigate back to the backend and then

go to pages, from there go to homepage and this time edit it with Elementor.

Now elementor has settings for different screen sizes in our case let's now switch to the mobile view

and let's find the element that has a problem

so whenever you see these three icons next to a setting it means that this setting it's

different for each screen size size in our case let's change the services alignment to

centre for the phone.

lastly let's go to testimonials section and let's fix overlapping issue now click

on the first column which contains the card and go to advanced tab, there change the margin

for this column. The margin is simply the space outside of our box so if we specify 70

on the bottom margin we're giving the box 70 pixels below it so anything else below

our box will be pushed 70 pixels further.

Now I will apply the same to all of our testimonial columns .

Now that we are done with the changes click update and let's refresh our page on the

mobile and see if the bugs are fixed.

As we can see now the services are in the center and testimonials are not overlapping

each other.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that made it to the end of this video.

How To Bauhaus – How to Build a Table Lamp | Bauhaus Design Idea | DIY Project - Duration: 5:33.

Hello dear Do-it-yourself Fans.

My name is Van Bo and I'm gonna show you how to build a design piece.

A table lamp, on your own.

This one is inspired by Bauhaus.

Check this out!

Light was a central topic for the Bauhaus design movement, a school established in 1919

in small german town called Weimar.

That's why we're gonna make a DIY Lamp today and it's made out of everyday objects

like this can and this paper cup.

Can you imagine making a lamp out of these?

Let's do it!

You will need a metal rod, an LED bulb with a socket, a strain relief fitting, a paper

cup, a can, a piece of thick paper and a power cable with a switch.

Get these tools to start working.

These additional tools and materials are also needed.

Let's start with the stand.

Seal one end of the metal pipe with tape.

Using a funnel fill the pipe with salt and seal the other end, this will prevent the

pipe from cracking when we bending it.

Use one hand to hold the pipe firmly against an upside-down bowl.

Use your other hand to slowly bend the pipe around the bowl until it crosses over itself.

Now bend the straight section of the pipe upwards until it is vertical.

Finally bend the end slightly down to the desired angle for the lamp shade, like this.

Let's get rid of this salt, if you wish you can cut the excess straight section of

the pipe at the base.

If inexperienced with a saw I recommend using a clamp to secure the pipe to the work bench.

Finally use sandpaper to smooth the sharp edges.

Now we're going to create the lamp shade.

Place the light socket on the base of the metal tin and trace around it.

Same thing on the paper cup.

Using a knife or box cutter cut out the circle.

For the tin, we'll use a small drill bit and drill several small holes around the circle,

then use a knife to cut the metal between the holes.

Be careful and use a gentle rocking motion to safely cut the metal.

Mark halfway along the length of the can and drill a small hole, then enlarge it with a

bigger drill bit.

We need to fix the screw ring to our socket firmly.

Apply quick drying glue approximately 1cm from the edge and thread the screw ring on

to the glue

Now put the socket through the hole in the can so the screw ring is on the inside of

the can.

Then place the paper cup over the socket and use the second screw ring to secure all three

pieces firmly together.

Take the strain-relief fitting and if necessary use the sandpaper to grind down the edges

so it will fit snugly into the metal pipe.

Then apply quick drying glue to it and put it inside the metal can.

Now we can feed the cable through the metal pipe.

Apply glue to the end of the fitting and slide it into the pipe.

Hold firmly in place until the glue dries.

Let's move on to connecting the cable to the light socket.

Connect the exposed wire ends to the socket screws, and tighten the strain relief screw

on the fitting so the cables won't wiggle around.

Let's move on to connecting the cable to the light socket.

Connect the exposed wire ends to the socket screws, and tighten the strain relief screw

on the fitting so the cables won't wiggle around.

Now we're going to give our lamp a paint job.

Use sandpaper to roughen the surface of the can and pipe so the paint will stick.

Lay down a protective surface and be sure to do this in a well-ventilated area.

Use a spray can to apply an even coat of paint.

Let it dry.

Finally we just need to screw in the light bulb – be sure to use an LED lamp to ensure

the paper cup doesn't get too hot.

Plug in and turn on.

In the 1920s electricity became more and more available to households.

As Bauhaus Designers try to improve everyday life they also came up with various lamp designs.

And one of these was our inspiration for the table lamp.

Light was also very important for the Bauhaus Design movement on a philosophical level.

They wanted to leave the dark times of the first world war behind and enter into a bright

new future.

From urban planning to education, from art to design, light was at the core of the Bauhaus

design philosophy.

So now it's your turn: Bring some light into your environment and create your own

table lamp.

Bling!

Build a Budget 4K Video Editing PC for $700 in 2019! | Ryzen Computer Guide - Duration: 9:38.

- Hey guys, my name is Matt Johnson.

And today I want to share with you

a budget video editing computer build

that you can put together for around $700.

This computer will enable you to edit 4K

and 1080p HD video in Adobe Premier, or DaVinci Resolve,

or basically any other video editing software

other than Final Cut which is Mac only.

And this computer should be fast for years to come.

Back in mid-2017, I made a video

about building a video editing PC for my brother.

And that ended up being very popular.

And since then, many of you have been commenting saying,

hey Matt, do you have an updated build video for 2019?

Are these parts still relevant?

What are the new parts that I should be using?

And that's why I'm making this video.

Okay, there are three things you need to know

before we start talking about these specific parts.

First, all of the parts that I'm gonna be talking about

are gonna be linked down in the description,

as well as on my kit page.

So, if you wanna go down there and check out all the parts,

you can do that.

Second, this video is just going to be about

which computer parts to buy, not how to put them together.

But don't worry, I'm not gonna leave you high and dry.

Because that video that I made back in 2017

is over an hour long

and details every single part of the building process.

From taking the parts out of the boxes,

all the way up to turning the computer on.

So, I will also have that video

linked down in the description.

And to be clear, the parts in this video go together

the same way that the parts did in the last video.

So, watch this video to buy the parts,

watch that video on how to put them together, cool?

Third and last thing before we talk about these parts.

I said at the start of this video

that this is a video editing build for $700.

And all of the parts at the time I'm making this video

do add up to approximately $700.

But, depending on your budget and how flexible you are,

I'm also gonna share with you some higher priced options

for some of these parts that you could swap out

if you wanted to, that would give you

a better and faster video editing experience overall.

Okay, let's get on to some parts.

Up first, let's talk about the motherboard.

One of the least glamorous but most important

parts of any computer build.

This is what you're gonna put your CPU,

your RAM, your GPU onto.

The motherboard I would recommend

is the MSI B450-A Pro motherboard,

currently retailing for $96.

The important thing you need to know

is that this motherboard has an AM4 CPU socket,

which means that you can put many

of AMD's Ryzen CPUs into it.

It also supports up to 64 gigabytes of RAM.

So if you decide you need more RAM in the future,

you can upgrade.

More on that in a bit.

If this motherboard becomes out of stock

or is randomly discontinued for some reason,

because that has happened before randomly with motherboards,

please leave me a comment down below

and I will update the link with

a roughly equivalent motherboard

that is also approximately the same price.

It'll still work with this build too, don't worry.

Moving on, let's talk about the CPU,

the brain of the computer.

Which is arguably one of the most

important parts of any computer build,

especially whenever it comes to video editing.

Because the CPU that you choose

is going to be one of the biggest factors

in how quickly your computer can edit and render video.

For a budget CPU option, I would recommend

the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, which I've found online for $150.

This CPU is a big upgrade over my last budget PC build,

because you are going from a four-core eight-thread CPU

to a six-core 12-thread CPU.

The more cores and threads to your CPU has,

the faster your video editing and rendering will be.

So this is a great choice.

It also comes with a CPU cooler,

so you don't have to buy one.

If you have a bit more room in your budget though,

and you want a faster video editing experience,

then the CPU is what I would recommend that you upgrade.

So I have some recommendations for you.

If you can afford it anywhere

from 20 to 50-ish dollars extra,

depending on where you buy it from,

then I would actually recommend a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU.

This is from the last generation of CPUs from AMD

and they're kinda on their way out,

so they're sold out in some places.

But if you can find one, it will work with this motherboard

and it has 8 cores and 16 threads.

The Ryzen 7 1700 should result in about a 20% increase

in editing and rendering speed over the Ryzen 5 2600.

Lastly, if the Ryzen 7 1700 is sold out though

and you have the budget, I would instead get

a Ryzen 7 2700 for about $100 more

than the Ryzen 5 2600.

I'll link to all the CPU options

down in the video description.

Next we have RAM.

Your computer needs RAM to run its programs.

Don't confuse RAM with your hard drive though,

which we're gonna talk about in a little bit.

For RAM I would recommend 16 gigabytes

of Corsair Vengeance LPX memory.

This should be enough RAM for 4K video editing

as long as you arn't editing a video in Premier

while simultaneously also editing

another video in After Effects.

But if you find yourself multitasking a lot

and using multiple video editing programs at the same time,

I would consider spending around 70 to a $100 more

to upgrade to 32 gigabytes of RAM.

That's how much I have in my 4K video editing PC

and it works great.

Next let's talk about one of the

funnest parts about building a computer, the graphics card.

And one of the reasons that I did not make

a budget video editing computer build video for 2018

is because the cost of graphics cards

was driven up crazy high because of cryptocurrency mining,

such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, et cetera.

So it would be difficult to make

a budget video editing computer

when over half of your budget is being spent on one part.

Thankfully, GPU prices have come down significantly.

So it's actually feasible to buy one

for a reasonable price again.

The budget GPU that I would recommend that you buy

is an NVIDIA 1050 Ti that I found retailing for about $160.

This isn't a crazy powerful

gaming graphics card by any means.

But considering that when it comes to video editing,

how much more important a fast CPU

with a high core count is over a fast GPU,

I still think that it is a great choice

that will handle your 4K video renders well.

If you have the budget though

and can go up in price by around $40,

I would recommend the AMD RX 580 graphics card.

You probably won't see a big jump in rendering speed

with a faster GPU in Adobe Premiere.

But if you use DaVinci Resolve for editing,

it should be faster.

Almost got all the parts.

You are going to need a hard drive

to store all of your programs and files on though.

And I do recommend purchasing an SSD

which is going to be much faster

than a traditional spinning hard drive.

The SSD that I recommend is the Crucial MX500

250 Gigabyte M.2 solid state drive

that retails for about $50.

This is definitely a budget SSD,

but it should be a nice mix between speed and storage space.

If you have the budget though and want something faster,

then I would recommend the 250 gigabyte

Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD for around $78.

We also need power for this computer.

To power it, I would recommend the EVGA

500B 500 watt power supply that retails for 40-ish bucks.

This should provide plenty of power regardless of which

CPU or GPU you choose that I recommended before.

If you have the budget and want a nicer power supply,

I would recommend the EVGA 550 B3 power supply,

which is modular.

This means that the cables detach from the power supply.

So you only have to use the cables that you absolutely need.

Whenever it comes time to put

all these parts into your case,

it's gonna end up looking much cleaner.

Speaking of case though,

we need a case to put all these parts inside.

The case I would recommend is the NZXT H500,

which retails for around 70 to $77

depending on which color you want.

Yes, you have color options.

This case has great airflow, a very open layout

which makes installing parts easy.

And it's discreet, without a ton of crazy

RGB colors or anything like that.

With that, that is your $700 computer build.

But I see you looking at me now and you're saying,

Matt, I still need other parts.

I need a monitor, I need a mouse,

I need a keyboard, I need an operating system.

Help me out here.

Let's address the operating system first.

Anyone can download a free copy of Windows 10

from the Microsoft support site.

What you have to pay for is the activation

of that copy of Windows 10.

The good news is that if you have

an older computer laying around

that's running Windows 7 or Windows 8,

that you're not using anymore,

you can actually get the product key

from that older computer and use it to activate

your new copy of Windows 10 on your new computer.

There's an article at Tom's Hardware about how to do this

that I'll make sure to link to down in the description.

If you don't have an older PC lying around

I would still check that Tom's Hardware link

because it has details about

how to buy a copy of Windows 10.

As far as a monitor, keyboard and mouse goes,

there are a zillion options out there

that are all going to depend on your preferences.

But, I will make sure to link down in the description

to a 4K monitor, a 1080p monitor

and a mouse and keyboard that I recommend.

With that, thank you so much for watching.

I hope this video helps you build

a budget video editing computer.

Please keep in mind though,

that these prices are subject to change,

especially if Bitcoin starts getting popular again

and suddenly graphics card prices

are going through the roof.

That would absolutely suck, but it can happen.

So, if you end up seeing that one of the links

down in the description has gone crazy high up in price

or it's out of stock, please leave me a comment down below

and I will update it with a roughly equivalent product

that is roughly the same price as the prices in this video.

Thank you so much for watching and have a great day.
