In this video, I walk you through an absolute beast of an editing PC that I built for content creators—centered around the Intel Core i9-12900K paired with the ASUS ProArt Z690 Creator WiFi motherboard. I’m a content creator based in Cebu, Philippines, and after months of working with brands and saving up, I finally got to invest in the kind of gear that makes late-night edits and heavy projects feel reliable. I also visited Thinking Tools (one of the most trusted tech stores here in Cebu) and showed how they can help you build a PC if you already have a parts list in mind. Once I got home, I tested the build in real-world creator workflows: batch photo editing in Lightroom, object removal and enhancements in Photoshop, and 4K 10-bit editing in Premiere Pro—often with multiple Adobe apps open at the same time. The i9-12900K’s 16 cores / 24 threads gave me that “peace of mind” headroom, and the ProArt board basically checks everything I look for as a creator: lots of M.2 options, fast USB, DDR5 support, and Thunderbolt 4. My biggest takeaway: gear does matter—especially if you want a smoother workflow that saves you time and keeps you efficient when the projects get heavy.
