Hi guys i hope that you'll be able to help me with my little quest!

I am currently struggling with creating a list of parts I would need for an editing rig that would fit somewhere in between 1500£ and 2000£. I've built a PC in the past but It's been a while since then and to tell you the truth I don't really keep up with everything at the moment.

I will be using Adobe products like: Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop or Illustrator as well as DaVinci Resolve. Premiere and After Effects support CUDA thus I would aim for hardware that is able to use it. Also I would like to use 2 monitors, one main and one that would display the workflow thus the second screen can be of a lesser quality/used. For the purpose of running DaVinci, I would need to use a resolution of at least 1920x1080 on the main one. I don't need a optical drives since the last time I've used a DVD disc was back in 2008. I could use a fire-wire port as well to hook up an external hard drive when needed.

Thanks for all the help!

This build will be excellent for editing. These 2 monitors use Display Port inputs for excellent. This also has an mSATA.2 (M.2) drive, which is excellent for any operating system. Plus, this has onboard 802.11AC wireless, for the best signal and transfer rates.
