My set up

Alienware Area 51 - 2015 model

motherboard - unknown

ram - 8gb 2133 mhz

hard Drive - 2TB

Cpu - i7 5820K

Gpu - r9 270

PSU - 850 Watt multi Gpu Gold certified 

OS - Windows 10

Water Cooled

 

Running 3 monitors 1080p 60fps Benq

 

Okay so I am a YouTube Content creator and I use adobe Premiere Pro cs6 to edit all my videos the problem is it be comes super choppy whenever I try to look at the playback my disk shoots up to 100% usage and Memory goes to about 7.5 out of 7.9Gb available and everything on my entire computer just starts to freeze also my my hard drive is pretty full about 1.6TB used out of 1.8TB 

 

Also whenever I try to render a video it takes about 1 to 5 hours to render a 8 minute video.

 

So heres what I think I should do but I wanted some confirmation first 

 

Buy a 120GB Samsung 850 evo move my OS and area for other important programs

Buy another 120GB Samsung 850 evo and use that as buffering area where I can store my footage while I edit

Buy a 5TB Segate Hard Drive as a Place to Store my Footage

Buy another 8GB of ram to help with the memory Bottle neck

And in the future (when I have the money) Buy a r9 390 X 2

 

Any Cheaper alternatives or better would be really Helpful My budget is in the range of about 200 - 300 Dollars but please more towards the 200 lol

If you have 2x4GB RAM sticks then you can stick it in this order: 1/3 1/3. So the 1st and 3th RAM slot or 2/4 2/4. The 2nd and 4th RAM slot it depends how you have it now. If you edit every day then 32GB would be good otherwise 16GB is more than enough.

You won't notice the speed difference between 2400MHz and 2666MHz. G Skill is more reliable than the ones you suggested.
