    I'm now convinced OP is lying. There's still no screenshot to indicate these ridiculous specs. <_<

    Then that's why you're having a problem. Unless you are actually storing your footage on RAMdisks, PCI-E SSD's or something like that, they will not be smoothly played back by any CPU. A regular HDD will not be able to smoothly play back raw or lossless video files, it just simply can't read the data fast enough. Encode it down with Adobe Media Encoder before importing the footage into premiere. Just encode it to a bitrate that is higher than what you will be encoding it to when you've edited it.

    Also I see you're still avoiding that pesky request of proof.

    And thanks for the advice. Tried it out and it worked pretty well on an i5 (My mom's current computer I am writing from rn)

    Why are you avoiding posting proof? Is it perhaps because you have none, and now you are just trying to somehow squirm your way out of this lie you've been caught in? Go on, prove me wrong, download Speccy. Uploading a screenshot to the internet is not hard.

    That has to be one old i7 (Or perhaps a low power version?). My 4790K can handle scrubbing the timeline with 4K60 gameplay footage (with the preview resolution set to 1/2) in Adobe Premiere Pro without problems. Though naturally timeline performance depends a lot on what it is you are scrubbing through. A Xeon (especially that Xeon) will not help too much with that, you'd be far better off going for something like a higher end Ryzen 7 CPU (1700/1800X). Though if what your brother already has is an Extreme Edition i7 (since you said 8-cores, and I will assume you actually know the difference between physical cores and logical threads), at least any more recent Extreme Edition, and you're still having trouble scrubbing the timeline, that Xeon is definitely not going to help, nor is a Ryzen 7.

    Well, then two decent 1080p monitors would suit that purpose (and your budget) just as well.


    Instead of paying the price premium of Pro, why not just use a program like VMWare Player, or VirtualBox? They're free.


    Thx for the advice! Ima probably go with a better i7, but im editing raw footage soo xD
    And ima try out VMWare ty

    Have you been a staff member on any other servers in the past?:yes in fact i used to be staff on plasma craft as of yesterday as the server shut down!

    Have you ever been banned from a server or lost a staff position for something you did? If so, tell us why! (Being honest will earn you extra credit as we check ban lists):I have only been banned for hypixel for glitching lol xD

    Why you feel you'd be a good applicant to be chosen for the Moderator position:I am a expeianced moderator and admin i have lots of experiance with hackers as i olso used to use clients!!!

    If your friend lost items in game and you had the ability to give them their items back, what would you do?


    If you were temporarily given OP status to build
    something and we logged off and forgot to take it away, then someone
    came up in the Anticheat for flying, what would you do? (You didn't have
    perms to punish people yet since you are still learning the ropes)get on discord and i will put on the lobby or staff chat and tell them :)


    Tell us a bit about yourself:I am a 15 year old boy who also likes football :)


    Do you have a working microphone and are comfortable using it to voice chat?yes anytime

    Age: 14

    Discord name(ID): Miles#2309

    Have you been a staff member on any other servers in the past?: I have indeed, I actually used to own my own server but I stopped it because I completely stopped playing Minecraft for about 2 months but then got back into it about 5 months ago.

    Have you ever been banned from a server or lost a staff position for something you did? If so, tell us why! (Being honest will earn you extra credit as we check ban lists): I have been false banned on Badlion and banned on Mineplex for "Medium Advert".

    Why you feel you'd be a good applicant to be chosen for the Moderator position: I have experience of owning previous servers also working with previous servers and I feel like I can deal with people very well. I am very comfortable speaking with strangers or just people I've just recently met and I am really nice when it comes to breaking news to people or just letting people know any information that I was told to give. I follow instruction very well and very clearly, you only need to tell me to do things once before I get it done as quick and as efficient as possible. I also have excellent grammar and I can type with proper punctuation as well. I'm not in this for the rank, I genuinely want to help out the community. I feel like I can be a huge part and a huge impact on this community and make it a lot nicer and just better in a whole. Like I said earlier, I can follow directions really well and as well as follow rules really well too.

    If your friend lost items in game and you had the ability to give them their items back, what would you do? First off this wouldn't happen because I don't have friends but let's pretend that I do for this circumstance. Honestly, I'm not into the whole abusing your powers thing but if he lost his items illegitimately for example if another staff member was abusing and killed him in creative or took his items or anything like that, I would clearly give them back, I think anyone would. Although, if he died on his own in a legit way and in a real environment then I would never give them back because that's how this game is meant to be played and if he doesn't like it then he should go play CSGO or something.


    If you were temporarily given OP status to build something and we logged off and forgot to take it away, then someone came up in the Anticheat for flying, what would you do? (You didn't have perms to punish people yet since you are still learning the ropes) First off, I can't build that good so even if you did give me OP to build, what were you thinking? Although this is just a "what if" circumstance so let's just pretend. I would pull out my handy dandy screen recorder and record that sucker and send it to an owner or admin via Discord.


    Tell us a bit about yourself: I am 14 years old and I live in a family of 4. I love Minecraft, I know this might sounds cringe but this is the greatest game ever just because of the fact that you aren't limited like most games. You can literally do whatever you want. I love all aspects of this game and I don't know what I'd do without it. Outside of Minecraft I also like playing Basketball. It is a true passion of mine and I want to pursue a Basketball career in college.


    Do you have a working microphone and are comfortable using it to voice chat? Yes, I have a $256.89 Microphone called the blue yeti and it works perfectly fine, and like I said I am very comfortable speaking to strangers and I speak to them as if they are my real friends. I will be happy to speak on Discord anytime that I'm needed.


    Thank you.

    Sincerely, Miles.


    Applications pending! Thank you for applying

    That list is a disaster.
    • There is no point in getting a Xeon CPU at all. Even for workstation use there are better alternatives currently. At least at this budget.
    • I suppose the cooler is alright, but at this budget you could get a lot better.
    • At least the thermal paste is good.
    • Motherboard is also fine, I guess, but there is no point in going for X99, or a Xeon.
    • Unless your brother is going to be using memory intensive programs there is absolutely no point in getting a 32GB kit.
    • If you're going to pick a SATA SSD anyway, why would you choose a more expensive M.2 SSD? It's not going to perform significantly better than a cheaper 2.5" SSD.
    • Graphics card is fine.
    • That case looks atrocious, at this budget you can afford spending more on a case.
    • I cannot find any reviews of the Rosewill Glacier 500M from any trusted source. So I wouldn't trust it. Though at this budget you should either way be spending a bit more on a PSU. Don't just select one because it's cheap.
    • Why would you choose an expensive ODD? There is absolutely no point to it at all.
    • Why would you choose Windows 10 Pro? You don't gain much from the price premium you pay for it.
    • Why have you picked two completely different case fans?
    • Why have you chosen to go with two 768p monitors and one 1080p monitor? This choice makes no sense at all. Why would you not just go for a single, or even two good 1080p monitors? Why go for three monitors in the first place? Especially three monitors that don't even share the same resolution? WHY?
    • Keyboard and mouse are fine I guess but at this budget you could get a lot better.

    All in all this list screams of "babby's first part's list", completely nonsensical choices (even if you're able to explain away the decision to pick a Xeon).


    Yeah, right. So, how about you post that Speccy screenshot? Here's a link to Speccy.

    This entire thread reeks of "kid trying to show off by lying". Though I am happy to concede I am wrong about that, though that would require you actually posting some proof, which you have continually avoided doing in this thread.

    Why is the proof even important?
    Anyway, he is using his PC as an editing workstation, and he needs such powerful stuff because with his current PC (8 core I7 @ 2GHz with a GTX 1080) timeline scrolling is a disaster with Adobe Premier. I picked a diff. resolution for the other screens because he only needs secondary screens for stuff like OBS, and doesn't need 1080P. Just perfectly fits my budget.

    *And he needs the virtual machine that comes with Win10 Pro and a couple other features are pretty nice

    So, Dxdiag? Because as jontecool98 said, it seems really weird that you have the memory whatever thing.


    Frankly, I'm still getting past the fact that you're wasting a Xeon processor for rendering, but that's a story for another day.


    Omg I'm an idiot... I thought i had ddr4 but i have ddr3 😒 sorry...
    And I'm not wasting it, it came from my dad's server.
