Hello

 

I'm looking at buying a new computer and was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for me.

 

I need to do some video editing on Adobe After Effects and some light recreational gaming. Any feedback appreciated!

PS: Am looking to save money if I can but can ultimately spend more if the upgrade is worth the $.

red team is better for value, though I'm pretty sure intel is favored by adobe because adobe likes higher clock speed for render times (at least in premiere pro, not entirely sure if adobe after effects is the same results).

ah okay. how does the 660p compare to the WD drive I originally had or something like the 970 Evo? Will I notice a difference in performance? Am asking because that's so cheap for 1TB

The 660p drive is perfectly fine, especially since your prices are different that US. It won't be as fast as the 970 Evo but it doesn't cost nearly as much either. It will be faster than the Western Digital drive you chose.

You put together a fairly high end system, so I tried to respect that with my build. I made some side grades and some upgrades and managed to lower the price a little.

You really should have two forms of storage, one for the C-drive and one for data (documents, videos, etc.) If the C-drive gets corrupted, you can reformat it without losing your data. The U12s may have been OK, but if you want to overclock I know the U14s will be adequate. The Asus Prime A would be a side grade, I think. The G-Skill memory is fine. No difference in use. I upgraded your GPU to the EVGA Ultra. The Ultra is their higher end cards, quiet and with a good heatsink. EVGA is supposed to have some of the best customer service of the GPU manufacturers. I upgraded your case to the Corsair 275R with tempered glass- it wasn't much more. I was conflicted with the PSU. You don't need 650 watts, The BitFenix is equal to the RMx, but is not modular. You're saving some money here. It you want a cheaper system, there are a lot of areas where you can save money, but I tried to maintain the quality of components that you started with.

Here Noctua shows the U12s as having medium overclocking headroom when used on the 8700K.

I believe WD Black NVMe drives are faster than same size Intel 660p.

Since you are only recreational gamer and more adobe ae user, i would suggest to go for more core CPU, IE ryzen 2700x/3700x/3800x. Its for the same price as 8700K and it will be better for threaded use, even 2700x is better than 8700K for that.

I would stick with Intel for Premier Pro.

According to Puget Systems the 2700X has slightly better performance than the i7-8700k, https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-CC-2018-Core-i7-9700K-i9-9900K-Performance-1254/. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-CC-2019-CPU-Roundup-Intel-vs-AMD-vs-Mac-1320/

The AMD chips can be buggy with Premier Pro and possibly After Effects too. I do think you need a fast NVMe drove (not dramless) for the editing drive so I changed the build. The Intel is for the C-drive.

That cpu/board combo is awful value for money. The 8700k is $478 on it's own which makes that board $226. You can get a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite for $235. Even the entry level Z390 UD is a better option at $169.

You're absolutely right! Something weird happened. It was priced around the $630's but the price must have changed while I was working with it and I didn't catch it. You had to add it to your cart to see the combo price. I'll have to re-work it.

I can't believe that promotion fizzled out, but maybe something new will come tomorrow. Anyway, here's a nice build with  an upgrade to the 9700K. Seemed like it was worth the extra $26, but if you would rather have the savings, just substitute the 8700K.

This is at the very top of your budget, but it's uncompromised performance, prioritizing rendering first and gaming second.

Nice build, but I would split that Intel up into two 500 GB drives.

thanks so much everyone! lots of decisions to make. it looks like everyone loves the gskill aegis 3000 mhz a lot.

 

only issue is that its not a supported/preferred RAM module on my motherboard's support list (Gigabyte Z390 UD):

 

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z390-UD-rev-10#support-doc

 

is this an issue?

Nope, it won't be an issue. I've used that exact RAM kit on the UD before and it runs its rated speeds without any issues.
