Bottleneck in Video Editing/Rendering?

Solution
First things first EVERY SYSTEM HAS A BOTTLNECK IN EVERY TASK. Some component is the reason it won't perform a task faster. Sometimes it's storage/memory/CPU/GPU depends on the task.

Yes it absolutely does happen in rendering. Whichever part is the weakest link is how fast it can go. Dropping a Titan in a rig with a Pentium will not go any faster than Pentium with a 1070 most likely. Same goes with a 22 core Xeon paired with a 750 to. It probably won't run any faster than an i7 with the same 750 ti.


It's all about balance. If you have something specific in mind I can dive deeper buy with no more info this is where I leave you.

I am planning to video edit using either Premiere Pro CC or Magix Movie Edit Pro or Cyberlink PowerDirector. Maximum video will be = Full HD of 2 hours.

Currently, my setup is as under:
FX 8320e
16GB DDR3 1866MHz RAM
GT 730 with 2GB VRAM
250 GB EVO 750 Samsung SSD [for boot and project]
2 TB for files

I am planning to buy RX 470 as an upgrade to above mentioned gpu. In games, GT 730 bottlenecks FX 8320e. Will it also bottleneck in video editing or rendering?
