Hello friends! Below is the copy and pasted form for requesting PC build advice so....here you go:
Why Are You Upgrading: I am a full time visual artist and I use After Effects and Premiere to create “cut out” style 3d animations. I have a computer that was built for me back in 2012 and its served me well but is starting to show its age. I’d like to upgrade to a new system designed for motion graphics in After Effects at 6 or even 8K.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next two months
Budget Range: I’d love to be at or under 2K. A bit higher is alright, but under 2.5 to be sure.
System Usage: Only motion graphics and video editing work. No gaming, no movie watching, etc.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: I’d like to upgrade everything, essentially a wholly new computer.
However, I do have a Corsair H100i GTX liquid cooling system and a Corsair TX850 power supply that I’d like to re-use if that seems feasible.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, b/c I have Prime. But if there is a good reason to go somewhere else, I’m all for that.
Location: Columbus, Ohio, USA
Parts Preferences: I’d like to use AMD’s new Ryzen CPUs....not sure which of them to go with though.....ie, not sure if the Threadrippers are really something I need or not.
Overclocking: I have no idea how to do this.
SLI or Crossfire: ??
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080 - I have two LG flatron screens that I plan to reuse.
Additional Comments: I’d like lots of RAM (which, you probably assume) and lots of storage—however I don’t want solid state drives unless absolutely necessary.....due to price etc.
Also, The look of the case and loudness of the system mean nothing to me. It can look like a trash can and sound like an air conditioner for all I care
I just want the ability to quickly, efficiently and coolly create multi-layered 3d motion graphics in AE and to edit and export 6k video from both AE and Premiere.
Thanks a ton for any input, it is greatly appreciated!

— It just seems to me that SSD is so expensive and a HDD works just as well for my needs, so it seems. But, if there is a strong reason that SSD is better, I’m happy to go with it.
