Hi,

I'am trying to assemble a video editing PC. It will be built in a Lisbon store and most of the parts were advised by the staff. It´s not for gaming but, mainly, for video editing (with possibility to handle 4K from time to time) and occasional music production. I would appreciate to know your opinion about this setup.


Case: NZXT S340

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7 5820K (3.3Ghz)

Cooler: Cryorig H5 Universal

Motherboard: Asus X99-A/USB3.1

Ram: Kingston Kit HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR4 @ 2133Mhz

Graphic: PNY NVIDIA Quadro K620 2GB DDR3

SSD - Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2

HDD - Western Digital Red 2TB SATA III 64MB

Cooler Master G650M Semi Modular

Monitor: LG 34' 34UM67-P UltraWide 21:9 IPS

(haven't choose keyboard or mouse yet)

Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best wishes from Portugal.

Generally it looks pretty good. I think your RAM is a bit low. I would get at least 32 GB. Unless you are going to working with 10 bit color, I would get the GTX 1070 instead for the better performance. It's unlikely that the 950 Pro will make any difference. Get 2 conventional SSD's, one for the OS and programs and the other for current video projects and scratch. I'm not sure why they gave you a red drive. The WD blue (or black) 7200 is what you want. I would try to get a tier 1 or 2 from this list:

If budget allows, move up to the i7 5930K or i7 6850K.
