Hardware & Technical Choosing the right motherboard for Realan E-W80

[kate5846]

Hello, I'm about to buy a new PC case E-W80, and I'm little stuck as far as the motherboard goes. I'm building the pc for video editing on Premire and some After Effects work. But I really am not sure what motherboard I should choose. I have no current plan to do any overclocking. I do want to put 32-64G of memory, and I want everything to work super fast. Some people offered me to buy the Asus PRIME X370-PRO, and from reviews I saw, it seems like a solid buy. But at the same time, I was told that the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON is perfect for video editing (not sure what makes it so perfect) Thing is, I'm not sure how much I should invest in a motherboard. I'm willing to pay the money for something good, but I'm not sure what to choose for the Realan E-W80, and what will give me the best performance while editing.

So I hope to get an advice about what motherboard should I buy, thanks.

Start off by looking at the size of the case & wondering "will my chosen motherboard fit in there?" - a small hint, neither of them will, that is a mini ITX case.

With that, it comes with a 120W PSU, good luck finding a graphics card that will:

(a) fit in it,
(b) be able to run on a 120W PSU
(c) be powerful enough for video editing if the above are true.

Plus, if you did manage to get over the above hurdle your lovely new build will start to overheat because you really will struggle shoehorning sufficient cooling into it, & having it run off said power supply along with the GPU...

In other words just as this guy answered your question here:

You will need to get a bigger case, a better power supply, and as cool as it looks - it is completely insufficient for what you want to shoehorn into it.
