Hello All,
I am building a video editing only computer. I will not be doing ANY gaming or really anything else besides video editing with the latest Adobe Premiere Pro (creative cloud). I hope to have a small business shooting and editing wedding videos. I am trying to keep the build under $2,000. One thing I keep getting different opinions on is if I should get the 4770k or the 3930k. Which do you think? Also, what hard drive configuration should I use. I don't think I am skilled enough yet to do RAID. But I am a total novice. Should I just get an SSD for the OS and a 2TB for the video files and then get an external hard drive to back those up and call it good?
Here is the 4770k build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1i6BH
(I copied Dave Dougdale's hard drive configuration on this top build so that's why I have and SSD for the OS, another SSD for the scratch drive, a 2 TB hard drive for the video files and a 1 TB hard drive for the export drive as seen in this video at around 3:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haP2aT_kpJo).
Here is the 3930K build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ieUt
Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it and all the help I have already gotten. I am hoping to order this in the next hour or so! So exciting!
