Hi everyone,
Having become increasingly frustrated with Apple, I have decided to move back to PC and try building my own editing machine. I haven't built anything since 2003 so am basically a total beginner. I also live in Japan, so plan to source most things locally through http://shop.tsukumo.co.jp (so the prices here are in yen not US dollars)
I am looking to build something for 4k video editing. I mostly use the Adobe CC suite, with fairly minimal Aftereffects demands. I film documentaries and mostly use 4k for cropping options etc. I am also curious about getting back into gaming (looking forward to No Man's Sky) but this is secondary to my editing needs.
As I'm buying in a market that a lot of people might not be familiar with (Japan) I'm not too concerned about getting the budget as low as possible. I am looking at something between 2000 and 3500, for a decent tower that is future proofed for the next few years and has potential to be upgraded. I have not included peripherals (monitor, external optical drive etc.) as I have most of those ATM.
What I basically need to know is whether my build makes sense (ie. is there anything that I really should/shouldn't have considering my general goals) and whether you think I'm biting off more than I can chew as a beginner (ie. is there anything that will make my life difficult). Thanks in advance.
