video editing 8k and higher VR video editing rig

[axlvrtours]

$5000 budget. Can go over budget. In USA. Need to edit 8k to 11k 360 VR video in Davinci Resolve. Not a heavy gamer... so workstation over gaming.

 

Been researching this for 6 months. Project getting funded in December 2019.

 

I've been using pcpartpicker.com to configure different rigs within my budget.

 

AMD 3600 x570 motherboard

Or

Threadripper (under $500) x399 motherboard

Will Not be using watercooling. So the 180 TDP of the TR scares me. The 3600 is 65 TDP. I like my quiet builds.

 

AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100

Or

NVIDIA 2080 ti

 

Do I need 2 video cards?

 

Memory - 64 gigs of 3600. Enough?

 

Monitor? Probably 2. One pro with factory calibration. 27" to 32".

Seems like every pro monitor I've looked at had 1 star reviews that scared me away. Haven't narrowed that down yet.

 

Case is Cooler Master HAF  XB EVO.

Want MB to be horizontal. Need at least one external drive bay.

 

I have network storage already.

 

Do I really need NAS drives for PC?

2x 1 terabyte m.2 NVME drives. 1 for OS and other for current project. 1 SSD Drive and 2 harddrives for raid storage.

 

I do play some games, Might get Borderlands 3 or Outer Worlds. But not really a big gamer.

 

I'm not a pro at editing. Mostly just family movies and Boy Scout camping trips.. It has been a lot to learn... have 4k 360 camera and my current rig works, most of the time...

 

Will be building a content channel and maybe some paid work. Need pro equipment. Want rig to be future proof for higher k resolution videos. A 4k 360 video is really only 720P per eye.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Something like this? Preferably wait the end of the month when the Ryzen 9 3950X releases.

Wow. Nice. My 3900 build came out to $6500 so I dropped down to the 3600 and it is still $5500. The video card and monitor are $1500 each...

The Radeon VII is discontinued. Not sure I want to use a card that may not be supported in the future.

 

The power supply may be overkill...

 

Thank you for your response.

I went with a 2080 Super. It does what it needs to do for now which is convert my 8k 360 pictures into 4k picture videos. The video is another issue but I don't take long videos. 30xx series by nvidia looked promising but now I'm waiting for AMD and better options.

 

Be safe out there.
