Hey everyone,

I need a build for a $1500 PC for editing in Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop etc. I will need everything

Approximate Purchase Date: Middle of this year

Budget Range: $1500

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing

Are you buying a monitor: Yes - 27 inch preferable

Do you need to buy OS: Win 7 Pro OEM

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon/Newegg but others are fine if reputable

Location: Central Florida

Parts Preferences: Nvidia and Intel. I need Nvidia cards to use the Cuda cores for GPU acceleration in the Adobe suite

Hard Drives: 3 - 1 ssd for OS and programs. 1 hdd for storage. 1 hdd for scratch. 2 tb for the storage and 1 tb for the scratch. Or 2 tb for both if price permits.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 or more

Additional Comments: No crazy looking cases. This will be at my job, so it needs to not look like it came out of Fast and Furious. Plain black metal with good ventilation.

*Yes, i know this is almost a duplicate of my previous thread. I just like to keep things separate so i don't miss something cause i combined topics.*

Come back closer to when you're ready to buy. It's pointless planning a rig out this far in advance. By the time you're ready to buy there will be new generations of Intel (Broadwell and Haswell-E, July) and AMD CPUs (generally May - June) out as well as new AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (late July). So things could change drastically around that time.

Yeah i get that. Obviously I would update it when the time came to purchase that components. The only reason I'm asking now is because I need to write something up soon. The extra work isn't scheduled til mid year, but i don't know when we would purchase it.
