[SOLVED] Feedback on Video Editing Build?

[nathanielkg]

Hello! I'm looking for feedback on my second build. Primary use will be prosumer photo and video projects in the Adobe Suite (Premiere/AE/Lightroom) with most projects being high-res photos & 4k video + some 3D text comps. These will be relatively simple, but I also would like room to explore more creative projects for fun (thinking Trapcode suite). I'll also do a little bit of casual gaming here and there.

I'd stay way from WD's Blue and Black HDD's. Sticking with Seagate IMHO, is a better idea. Plus they cost less as well and have lower failure rates when compared to WD.

For about 500~600USD, you could snag an RTX2070 which would bring your total to $300 more.

I would rebuild that system but on a smaller form factor since I cherish space around my desk space. You're build is good to go though.
