Tell us what you edit and the footage you work with, and we’ll build a system around you. No obligation — just honest advice from the UK team that builds them.
Real feedback from the people who edit, create and game on Punch systems every day. Swipe to read more.
"I decided to upgrade my video editing PC and chose Punch Technology to build a more powerful machine. Throughout the process the team were highly professional and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others."
"Absolutely amazing. I ordered my new PC after 6 years running my old one (also from them!). They helped me through the whole process, choosing the right build and getting old components into the new one. Their customer service is one of the best I've ever come across."
"My computer is now 4.5 years old and still performs like a new machine. I spoke with tech support for advice on a graphics card upgrade. The sales service, and the aftersales and tech support since, is nothing short of excellent!"
"Delivered promptly, the quality was top-tier, and whoever did the cable management is an absolute artist. Price unmatched. Forget wherever else you've looked into — this is the one."
"Their website is so user friendly, letting you build a PC to your requirements. I ended up with a great spec PC, with everything I need and nothing I don't, at really good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Punch."
"Absolutely amazing people, so helpful — they really do go the extra mile. Pete was incredibly helpful with a difficult RAM issue, staying on the phone to guide me through the whole process. Thank you again!"
Every component is matched to the next, so nothing in your system sits idle and nothing bottlenecks your edit.
Video editing performance improves significantly with increased graphics card power. This will hold true until you reach the limit of a supporting component, such as the memory or the CPU. So, we are back to talking about balancing components, which is a theme throughout everything we build.
Video editing software utilises both the CPU and graphics card for processing. As all our Punch video editing PC builds come with graphics cards, the job of the processor is the efficient transmission of the graphics processing into your editing software. We have balanced the power of the processor against the performance of the overall build, so you don't end up buying power you won't use.
RAM is the component that determines the size of files you can edit and actively preview. So broadly speaking you will need 16GB for editing 1080p footage. 32GB for editing layered 1080p or simple 4K footage. 64GB for HDR and layered 4K edits and 128GB for footage over 4K. Large quantities of memory in the system is usually better than lower amounts running at a higher speed.
Even at entry level, with video editing you are moving large files around your system quickly, creating the need for sophisticated disk configurations. We use M.2 SSD primary drives for your operating system and software, keeping your editing workstation responsive even at high load. Large SSD scratch drives keep your current project's media files and edits delivered to your editing software in real time.
Send us your editing software and typical footage, and we’ll spec the right balance of CPU, GPU, memory and storage — so you don’t pay for power you won’t use.
All our video editing PCs are tailored and optimised for professionals and hobbyists alike, ready for whatever you create and whatever you create it in.
Whatever you're creating
Cut high-resolution footage across multiple timelines with smooth, real-time playback. High-core-count CPUs and fast NVMe scratch drives keep scrubbing and previews responsive, even on heavy multi-layer projects.
GPU-accelerated grading, noise reduction and effects stay fluid in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and After Effects. Flagship graphics with large video memory handle node-heavy grades and layered comps with ease.
Shorter export and render times mean more time creating and less time waiting. Extra cores and memory bandwidth let you render in the background while you keep editing your next sequence.
However you work
Tell us what you edit in and we tune the build around it, from codec acceleration and GPU effects to smooth multi-track playback.
Every PC ships with a genuine, activated Windows install, set up clean with no bloatware or trialware, so you can start editing straight away.
Add storage, memory or a second graphics card down the line. Your system is built to be upgraded as your projects get bigger.
Every video editing PC is curated, built and tested by the team in the UK, then backed for the long run.
Every workstation is assembled, cable-managed and stress-tested by hand at our UK facility before it ships, so it arrives ready to edit out of the box.
All builds include a 3-year parts and labour warranty as standard, with UK-based support if you ever need us.
Not sure what you need? Tell us what you edit in and we will recommend the right balance of CPU, GPU, memory and storage, before and after you buy.
Our team is here from first configuration through to deployment and beyond, so your editing workstation keeps performing for years.
Frequently asked questions
As a rough guide: 16GB is fine for 1080p, 32GB for layered 1080p or simple 4K, 64GB for HDR and layered 4K, and 128GB for footage beyond 4K. More memory is usually better than faster memory for editing, and large projects benefit most.
Both matter, and the best results come from balancing them. The graphics card accelerates playback, grading and effects, while the processor handles encoding, decoding and overall responsiveness. We balance the two so you are not paying for power that another component cannot keep up with.
We recommend a fast NVMe drive for your operating system and software, a separate large NVMe scratch drive for the project you are actively editing, and high-capacity archive storage for finished work. This keeps your timeline responsive while giving you room to grow.
All of our builds are tuned to run the major editing suites well, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut and Filmora. Tell us what you edit in and we will configure your system around it.
Yes. Every system can be configured to your requirements, including GPU, memory, storage and cooling. Our pre-configured builds are a great starting point, and our team will adjust any of them to suit your workflow.
Every machine is built and tested in the UK and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty as standard, backed by our UK support team.
