Video Editor Upgrade

[ThomasLidke]

Hello everyone I am a professional video editor who works with multiple HD sources of footage at once and 4k footage on top of that. I'm looking for an upgrade to my current rig a huge upgrade. I do a lot of rendering and need something reliable for Preimere Pro, I'm also an audio engineer and need something good for Pro Tools. 

My current build consist of

amd phenom ii X4 965 3.40GHZ - crappy stock cooler

16gb corsair vengeance ddr3 ram (I also have 2 x 4gb of corsair ram laying around) 

A not so great MSI motherboard (need to upgrade) 

NVIDIA GTX 680 1gb

3tb (dying)  HHD,  1tb HDD working drive,  120gb HDD. 

Cooler Master Elite 430 mid tower 

 

I'd like suggestions on what I should upgrade first, but I'd like to basically build a whole new computer with a lot of drive cases and enough horsepower to run a dual monitor 4k setup and try to spend under $1000. I also need it to run quickly for audio purposes so water cooling is proffered. I need a big update on performance quickly.  Any suggestions?

'I also need it to run quickly for audio purposes so water cooling is proffered'. I'll assume you mean you need it to run quietly? AIO liquid coolers aren't going to be as quiet as air coolers for most of the time, and given how your budget is only $1000, it's better to go for an air cooler with less points of failure.

 

If you were to reuse the RAM, you could get a quad core hyperthreaded system with a GTX 980Ti for CUDA GPU acceleration (which IIRC, is hugely beneficial in Premiere Pro):
