HI,
I need to build up a video editing PC, with a somewhat limited budget. I am shooting 4k, and delivering HD. Files are AVCHD from a Sony A99ii, and mp4 from a Panasonic gx8.
As part of my new job, I am putting out a few of these each month, and my Lenovo w530 laptop is showing it's age. I want a system that is good at dealing with 4k video with effects, etc, and will be a system that could be added/improved for at least three years without having to start over.
What I have already:
1. Older Anatec case, from the 80mm fan days. IT has a hot swap sata III case, that holds 5 spinning drives. They are all 7200rpm, (1) 400gb, (3) 750gb, (1) 1.5tb
2. One used, and one new Power supply, so one of them should work. 600w and 550w.
Keyboard, mouse, 4k 28" and 2k 30" monitors.
3. Samsung 860 evo 1tb m.2 sata drive
4. GEFORCE GT 730 card, 2gb ddr3
I am thinking about the following new components
1. Gigabyte x299 gaming MB
2. Intel i7-7820x CPU
3. Noctua NH-U12DXi4 120mm SSO2 CPU Cooler
4. Optane 32gb m.2 stick, to be used with one of the spinning drives.
5. 32gb G.Skill tridentz 3200 ram
The cost of these parts in my basket right now is about $1300.00
I would use the video card I have until the prices of cards come back down from the stratosphere.
Some questions I have are
1. Will the older designed case, with two 80mm fans in the back, and one 80mm fan up front, suffice? It seems case design has improved over the years.
2. Would using the Optane setup for boot, with the Samsung m.2 drive I have as data/scratch disk work, while using the spinning drives, maybe the 750gb ones in raid 0, be a good strategy?
I am in the US. Timeframe is soon/now. Once I have this figured out I just have to get management approval and then I can go ahead and buy.
