Advice for Custom Build (for Adobe CC Premiere and After Effects) - $800 to $1000 Budget

[michellemp]

Hi Toms Hardware Community.

Looking for some input, advice, constructive criticism on my desktop video editing build. I will mainly use Adobe CC Premiere and AE. Looking to do some motion graphics work with AE for our non-profit.

NOTE: I am keen on going with an ASUS brand motherboard, an Intel brand CPU, and 16GB ram. I don't mind different models. Still trying to see where I can cut costs. I'm currently $82 above budget. But may just have to accept that.

Thanks so much for your time.

First operating sistem just go to insider, that's all, fan case? what? just steal ones from a cyber... (just a joke). Optical drive, i am sure that you dont need one. The sdd is bad!, actually they are OVERPRICED, like de gtx 1060 and 1070 ( or all rx series) Ram too but you need it. A 1080 is all you need for premiere and AFTER EFECTS ( especially this)
