    I have this same RAM kit. Excellent kit for the price and provides great value when using motion graphics.
    This drive might struggle with your 4k footage from the Canon. Are you going to be using proxies? I had to move away from a mechanical drive recently as it just could not handle our GH5's 4k footage. If you could find some more money in your build to get a 1TB SSD you would benefit greatly from it. I think the Crucial MX500's 1TB drives are only $50 more.

    20_below got a reaction from Bombastinator in I have purchased and exchanged 8 monitors this year, all had dead pixels out of the box. Is this normal or just rotten luck?   
    I am actually going to send this monitor directly into Samsung to have them repair it. Figured instead of doing the lottery every time at Best Buy that I should just send it i and wait a few weeks for them to repair the screen. I got nothing left to lose at this point.
     
    But seriously, I cannot believe that quality control has gone down this much. I know it's the holidays coming up so they are trying to push out as many units to stores as possible, but to encounter 9 straight dead pixels from different brands and models from two entirely different stores (one store being two separate locations) is absurd.

    Might be a little unorthodox, but have you considered Google One? I pay $9.99 a month for 2TB of online storage. Whenever I need to back anything up or just archive photos I dump them into my Google One account.

    I think you could save some money on the motherboard and case fans, that should give you some extra room in your budget to play around with. The PSU you picked is absolute overkill as well. You do not need 750W PSU if your output is going to be 400W estimated. I took your build and made some tweaks to it:

    The SSD will be your systems and applications drive while the HDD will be your main footage/editing drive. The 7200rpm drive should be able to handle the footage (unless you are working off of high end cinema cams). We edit 10bit 422 GH5 footage on 7200rpm drives and haven't found any issues with it.
     
    If you want something faster, then I would take out the HDD, get a bigger SSD and get an external RAID 0 drive like this:

    Hope this helps!

    I second this. I just recently bought this monitor on sale at Microcenter and I can't believe how solid of a monitor it is. Going to pick up a 2nd one very soon.
