A little back ground. I am a very experienced video editor. I work in Premiere Pro and some After Effects. I have been running on an ancient machine for far too long and it died the other day ... like dead dead. Old Dell i5 650 machine that had been pushed to its limits. Time to build a new machine. I am focusing on a mid to high level build.
Right now all of my video projects are in 1080 as I don't use any 4K cameras at this time, but it is just a matter of time before I make that move as well (a year or so down the road I am guessing).
I have some recent upgraded parts that I can use such as a 650W power supply, Blu-ray burner, SSD 500GB drive, several 2TB and 4TB 7200 rpm drives (both internal and external), fire wire PCI card (needed for old tape based video imports), and wireless card.
I am thinking of the following to add to those parts:
i7-7700k processor w/ cooling fan $360 on Amazon
Asus Prime z270 motherboard $160 on Amazon
16GB DDR4 3000 RAM $120 on Amazon
EVGA GTX 1070 SC graphics card $375 on Amazon (this would let me run Da Vinci if I wanted to as well)
And a case ... something like a Corsair 100R for $60 on Amazon
Anything I am missing? Am I overkill? Undersized?
