Build for Video Editor, Adobe Suite.

Hey Peeps! 

So I edit event videos like weddings. My computer is  6 years old still works great, but its starting to slow me down, for example trans coding, rendering, and exporting, some videos can be up to 4 hours long. At this time we record at 1080p at 60 fps and export at 1080p at 30 sometimes 60fps. We have 4k cameras,  and are wanting in the future to record in 4k then export at 1080p, since most clients haven't fully adopted 4k yet. (at least ours). But eventually we want to shoot and deliver in 4k. So I need a future proof computer. This is what I'm thinking,

Nothing is set in stone, I don't know if ill get the RTX 2080ti, might just get the 1080ti.

The RAM, I don't really know much about that but I've heard G.skill is reliable. 

 

What you think? Any recommendations? Thoughts? Concerns?

Your power supply won't power your system, I'd suggest a power supply over 850 watts. You might want to invest in a 1000 watt supply for future proofing.

well in the future everything will be even more efficient, no need for any single GPU system to have a large wattage PSU more than 650-700w

The memory should be at least DDR4-2666. That is the stock speed of the memory controller.

 

You might want to get the latest Samsung NVMe drive, the 970 Pro. 

 

I'd suggest going with a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold or Corsair RMx instead of the Evga G3 psu. They are excellent units that are quieter than the G3.

 

You might consider a different case. The P350X has RGB lighting that is Aura Sync compatible.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Oh yeah, but one of my problems with my old i7 3770k, is the exporting takes way too long I can edit just fine  but exporting would be sent to this new machine to export and render quicker so I can edit other timelines.

Pretty sick case, love the front loading. Might have to get a better Power Supply. I have plenty of storage, but i do think i might get either two M.2 and raid them to export faster, or two SSDs.

Yes, probably the 850W model would be better. Hard to find a better quality psu than Seasonic Focus Plus.

 

I wouldn't RAID 0 two NVMe drives. NVMe M.2(M) is roughly six times faster than SATA III which is quite a speed improvement. The increase in serial write/read speeds isn't worth the added data fragility of RAID 0 in my mind.

Gotcha, I might wait to see if intel releases new i9s this coming months cause the 7920x are out of stock, so idk whats up with that.
