We are a small studio that i ready to build its next 4/8K Video editing suite.

We have a budget of A$6500 approx US$5200 for the box alone. Monitors have already been sourced. This machine will only run Premiere, After Effects, Audition and Media Encoder during its 9-5 working life.

At this stage we are using Windows 10/64 Bit with our other systems alongside MAC's

We have been looking at motherboard that now take up to 3 M.2 SSDs, not sure whats better yet, Thunderbolt 3 is mandatory as our external drives are TB3

Given the new Ryzen chips and motherboards, the choice is even greater, finding a motherboard is being a little difficult.

I envisage the following,

Samsung EVO Pro 960 M2 SSD 512Gb for Operating System and Apps
Samsung EVO Pro 960 M2 SSD 512Mb for Cache/Proxy
Samsung EVO Pro 950 SSD 1Tb x 4 for Project
or Samsung EVO Pro 950 SSD 2Tb x 2 Raid 0 for Project (Expandable as required)

CPU ??
64Gb Ram Minimum
Quadro M4000 or GTX 1080
Power Supply 1000W + ?
Case ?


I am looking for assistance in this build. We looked and built 6 months ago, but since then a whole new range of options have presented themselves,

Thanks everyone
