What's a good build for editing? Spent around $2000 on my last computer and it's just not cutting it anymore. Once I start adding effects it's impossible to play the timeline smoothly. My current specs are:
i7-7700K
32 GB ram
GTX 1080ti graphics card
480GB SSD

I do a lot of heavy duty visual effects so I need something pretty powerful.

I was thinking of getting something along the lines of this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K6F4fH

If you have any suggestions for me please let me know!
 
@ANDREWPROTV I don't see a motherboard in your build on pc part picker? I'm assuming it is very top line to have everything you want from this build? Also that is a lot of storage space, but if you are doing a lot of high end lengthy videos I understand. One thing I would change is to swap out the rtx 2080 and just get a titan x to prevent bottlenecking

Included motherboard and GPU.
Prioritized performance over looks.
Better PSU to handle power requirements under heavy load.
Install those 860 QVO SSDs in RAID0
HDD can be added later as per the requirement.
