Specs

FX-8350

Gtx 1050

750w PSU

16 GB of DDr3

 

 

Edit: I use premere pro. I want to upgrade my current system

I use premiere pro 2016.

 

My NAS has 5TB usable storage. I have to delete the raw footage for my 4k videos.

 

When I edit i move my footage to my SSD, Its a 512GB SATA SSD. (I dont have m.2)

For the build ox get something like a ryzen r7 1700 32 gb of ram. Gtx 1070 and a 500gb boot ssd. I will make a pcpp link in a minute.

@borisdarker I am also looking to upgrade to a 4K camera. I also need to set up a NAS with local SSD storage. I'd love to know more about your work flow. Do you have a  Youtube?

What PSU do you have? You might be able to keep it.

If your just doing this for school your current system will work fine. Just use proxys(included in the import settings) and your can edit any res of video on junk hardware.

 

But for the upgrade, this is what id get, I know its over your budget, but for your budget you can't really get much of a upgrade

Don't down scale, use the create proxy on the importance settings. You won't not a difference editing and it will be much smoother. Set it to Cineform.
