New PC build help

[Rstenhouse]

Budget (including currency): £1000

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  Adobe suite, variety of steam games, resolume and magic q

Other details: My old custom built is starting to struggle running allot of applications now after 7 years. I handle all of my theatre company's photo and video editing(4k video currently) along with lighting programming and on occasion some pc gaming So I need a machine that can handle different types of work lot. 

I normally go team blue but have heard allot of good things about team red lately so I am very unsure what to get. I already have 2 monitors keyboard mouse along with 2 hdds and 1 ssd. Any recommendations for cpu,motherboard and GPU would be highly appreciated.

You're going to benefit a lot from more cores if editing is the primary use. And with the recent price drops, I'd say a 3900X would be ideal. With an ASRock B550 Pro board, 16GB DDR4 3200 RAM and a 1660 card for acceleration and gaming. Pair with a Corsair TXM 550W and a decent case and you're good to go.

I recommend a higher budget because if this is for work, you'll greatly enjoy a more powerful ryzen 7 2070 combo. Ask your workplace if they'll offer paying for part or all of it. And if work is very important, I'd go threadripper just for 128gb of ram.

He's editing video, not building a data centre. Editing programs don't scale past 32GB of RAM. Why would he waste money on a TRX40 and 3960X?

I've seen 4k video editing eat up a lot of ram, still it depends on the level of quality the job requires

Most programs will scale till 32. Very few till 64. No program scales past that.

According to this article by intel on adobe 4k video editing released in 2015, they recommend a minimum of 32 or more. And I can confirm that they scale way past 32, I've even seen system crashes when 64gb wasn't enough. But still the question is how high quality does it need to be for his job.

That article is a load of paid crap - I've been using Adobe products - anything past about 40GB is never touched. Ever. If you had crashes, then the issue was a memory leak, not a memory requirement.

Unfortunately we are a non profit company so I have to pay for the gear myself.
