For 2 grand you'll be able to build a new pc with a 1080Ti and probably some money to spare too.I'd recommend making a new one.4K editing on DDR3 and GTX 650 will be a pain.

getting ryzen 7 1700 and gtx 1080ti would help to render these videos faster, if you're sure

well, an i7 7700 and 32GB of 2400MHz DDR4 would be the obvious step, but you could also get a Ryzen 7 build, which would kick the i7 7700 ass for multicore workloads. I'd recommend that with a decent X370 board for some good gains of 3.8-4GHz, and yeah, a GTX 1080ti. Some RAID storage and some SSDs would also be good..
