High End Plus Video Editing Computer

High End Plus Video Editing Computer – Built in the UK

The High End Plus Video Editing Computer is a high-end 4K video editing PC for editors, colourists and motion designers working in Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.

 
If you want a high end plus video editing computer that handles long 4K timelines, GPU-accelerated grading and heavy exports without compromise, this is the system to look at. It combines a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB of video memory and 48GB of DDR5 memory. Three storage drives give you separate space for the system, active projects and archive footage. Every system is built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology.

 
The High End Plus Video Editing Computer is built on an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus with 24 cores and 24 threads, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB of GDDR7, and 48GB of DDR5 5600MHz memory in a dual channel 2 x 24GB kit. Storage is a 1TB WD Black SN7100 NVMe SSD, a 2TB WD Black SN7100 NVMe SSD and an 8TB Seagate BarraCuda hard drive. It runs genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Professional and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Processor and memory for demanding timelines

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has 24 cores, made up of 8 performance cores and 16 efficient cores, running 24 threads. The performance cores have a 3.7GHz base clock and boost to a maximum turbo of 5.5GHz, and the chip has 36MB of L3 cache. That mix suits video work. Timeline playback, scrubbing and effects previews lean on fast cores, while exports, transcodes and background renders spread across all 24. The processor also has integrated graphics.

 
Memory is 48GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 5600MHz CL40, fitted as two 24GB modules in dual channel. The ASUS PRIME Z890-P WIFI motherboard has four DIMM slots with two in use and supports up to 256GB, so there is a clear route to more memory if your projects grow. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB is a dual-tower air cooler, 155mm tall and rated at 280W, which keeps the processor cool through long renders.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics for acceleration and grading

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has 8960 cores and 16GB of GDDR7 video memory. That puts it in the class suited to native 4K RAW editing and to GPU-heavy work such as noise reduction in DaVinci Resolve. It also speeds up GPU effects and exports in Premiere Pro and After Effects, and GPU rendering in Blender. The 16GB of video memory gives 4K timelines with colour grades, titles and effects stacked on top plenty of room.

 
The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs and supports up to four monitors, which is useful for a timeline, a viewer, a scopes panel and a reference display. The output layout may vary by card brand.

Three drives: system, projects and archive

The 1TB WD Black SN7100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD holds Windows and your editing applications, with read speeds up to 7250MB/s and writes up to 6900MB/s. A second 2TB WD Black SN7100 of the same speed is a natural home for active projects, footage and cache files, so the system drive is never competing with your media. The 8TB Seagate BarraCuda 3.5in SATA hard drive (5400rpm) provides bulk capacity for finished projects and footage libraries.

 
There is room to grow. The motherboard has four M.2 slots, two of them free, and four SATA 6Gb/s ports with one in use. The case also has mounts for 2 x 3.5″ and 5 x 2.5″ drives.

Lian Li LANCOOL 217 case and cooling

The Lian Li LANCOOL 217 in Wood/Black is a mid tower with a tempered glass panel, so the finish suits a studio desk or a client-facing room. It comes with five pre-installed fans: 2 x 170mm front intake, 1 x 140mm rear exhaust and 2 x 120mm on the PSU shroud. The system is air-cooled, with no liquid cooler. The case measures 482mm deep, 238mm wide and 503mm high. Power comes from a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 PSU, which leaves headroom beside the 300W graphics card for future upgrades.

Connectivity for cameras, drives and monitors

At the rear there is 1 x Thunderbolt 4 Type-C, 1 x Type-A 10Gbps, 2 x Type-A 5Gbps and 4 x USB 2.0, plus a 2.5GbE Ethernet port. The front panel adds 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A and a microphone/headphone combo jack. Wireless is built-in Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. Audio is Realtek 7.1 HD Audio. The 2.5GbE port and Thunderbolt 4 are useful for fast network storage and external drives.

Windows 11 Professional for studios and business networks

The system ships with Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (genuine, pre-installed). Professional adds domain join for corporate networks and the ability to join Microsoft Azure networks, which matters for in-house video teams and freelancers working inside a client’s environment. No keyboard or mouse is included, so choose these from the accessories below.

• Creators who transcode in HandBrake, capture in OBS Studio or render in Blender

For editors who want a high end plus video editing computer with a fast 24-core processor, 16GB of RTX graphics, 48GB of DDR5 and three drives with room to expand, this build is a well-balanced choice. It is configurable, so you can change parts in the configurator to suit your workflow before you order.

Built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology, every system comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, backed by over 30 years of PC building experience. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the High End Plus Video Editing Computer best for?

The High End Plus Video Editing Computer is primarily a native 4K editing and grading workstation. It suits long timelines with multiple video layers, colour work and GPU effects, where the RTX 5070 Ti and 24-core processor keep playback responsive. It is aimed at 4K rather than 8K, because sustained 8K and multi-stream 4K production belongs with RTX 5080 class graphics.

In day-to-day use that means cutting and exporting in Premiere Pro, grading with noise reduction in DaVinci Resolve and building motion graphics in After Effects. It also covers HandBrake transcoding, high-bitrate recording in OBS Studio and GPU rendering in Blender. Heavy output on the dedicated SSDs keeps the system drive free, so exports and cache writes do not slow the rest of the machine.

Where does the High End Plus Video Editing Computer sit in the range?

Below it, the High End Photography PC uses the same Core Ultra 7 270K Plus with an RTX 5070 12GB card and 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory, which suits stills-led work. The Professional V-Ray / 3ds Max Workstation pairs a Ryzen 9 9900X with an RTX 5080 16GB for GPU-heavy rendering.

Above it, the High End Plus Photography PC V2 steps up to a Core Ultra 9 285K with 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz CL30 memory. The Core Ultra 9 Professional Plus DDR5 Workstation PC pairs the same Core Ultra 9 285K with an NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation 20GB card for heavier professional workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this PC best suited for?

It is best suited to professional and serious semi-professional video editors, colourists and motion designers who work mainly in 4K. It also suits freelancers and small studios that need Windows 11 Professional for domain join or Azure access, and anyone who wants several fast drives and room to expand.

Can I change the parts, and when will it be built?
