Hello All!
I made a post last week about building a computer. I have learned a lot since then. The last time I built a computer was 6+ years ago and I just had the guy at MicroCenter pick out the parts... My current cpu is a 2700k =(
I figured I would make a new detailed post on what I plan to do and why. If you see anything wrong or if something would be better, please let me know.
I plan to use this computer for 4k and 5k video editing in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere. The videos will sometimes be in the RAW format which means ~60 seconds of record time = 100gb of data. I currently do NOT own a RED Cinema Camera but I want this computer to edit those files.
I also will want to use the computer for gaming and VR "HTC vive". I would like to Play ARMA, PUBG, Star Citizen and new titles on MAX settings at 4k.
It is my understanding that Adobe does NOT handle mutli-cores well. That is why I'm going with the Intel 8700k. The 8700k also has a built-in graphics card which Adobe can use! It is my understanding that with my current 2 980s that would give me three GPUs worth of rendering, correct? (SIDE NOTE: Any word on a 8700k replacement?)
To cut down on cost I'm going to use my two GTX 980s in SLI until the 1180s are released.
I am also wanting to use my Vengeance C70 computer case to cut down on cost. PC Part Picker says they won't work with my cooler?
Final Notes: I work a convention every year where we use my desktop as a streaming computer. I have three capture cards installed and we use OBS & WireCast to stream. The capture cards that I use are the https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/964122-REG/blackmagic_design_decklink_mini_recorder.html and they should fit.
I also want to add thunderbolt and more USB 3.1s to use my peripherals, will they fit?
EDIT:
One last thing... I want to Overclock to get better rendering times and why not?
Here is my build:

Thanks! and I hope to buy asap.
