I'm looking to upgrade to a new workstation before the end of the year.
I work almost exclusively (and almost daily) in After Effects and Premiere Pro, neither of which capitalize on multiple cores (thus my choice not to go with Ryzen 7). AE, however, does use GPU acceleration (thus the 1080 ti). My hope is to work at a 4K minimum with the potential to create 6 or even 8K motion graphics in AE in the future (I do very little work with live footage).
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this build....anything look strange to you? Am I making any glaring mistakes (this is my first system build ever so its taking me a while to figure out)? EDIT: I have a Corsair H100i to use for cooling.
One thing I will note is that I have opted not to go with an SSD for budget reasons (I'd hoped to keep this whole thing under 2K). But, if you can convince me that it is necessary (as opposed to just, nice to have) I'll add it in.
I'm very willing to edit this list based on your expertise so, feel free to share your insights.
Thanks!
Here's the list:
