Build Advice It's finally time for a new video editing build

[jazmeister]

Hey all, 10 years down the line and thinking it's about time for an upgrade (out of necessity as slowdowns/more 4K multicam jobs etc and funds now available) - so, previous system which has lasted the 10 years (save for some additional drives and upgrading from a GTX970 to a 3070 couple of years back) was:
Asus Z97 Pro
Noctua NHD15
i7-4790K stock
32Gb DDR2 RAM (4x16)
Seasonic FocusPlus 800W

That has run amazingly; hasn't missed a beat and is on pretty much 24/7 (behind a decent UPS mind too). manages 4K video editing OK (Premiere/AFX/Photoshop) and some gaming (mainly some warfare sims/BG3 at mo which run OK)

So now finally time to upgrade and whilst it looks like a bad time for intel I'd prefer to stick with Intel (H264/5 editing qsync etc) and ASUS (jus this board has been awesome, the RAID and UEFI setup is decent as is Fanxpert etc) and SEASONIC (from reliability experience with this one). Also will keep the Noctua NHD15 coz thats been awesome too.

I did look at a coupl;e of ASRock options but the UEFI/RAID set up doesn't seems as nice and am just used to ASUS having been happy with the reliability of this board as it is.

I was going with ProArt Z790 but now they seem damn hard to find all of a sudden (Australia) - pairing with i9/12900K just coz of the issues with 13/14.
BUT Now thinking ASUS ROG Z890 with Ultra 7 265K (cheaper than ProArt with similar options)

128Gb Kingston Fury DDR5 coz that seems easily compatible with 4 sticks 32
New Seasonic Prime TX850

I'm stuck on the SATA issue coz I use all 6 ports (4 drives plus 8TB RAID0 store) plus an M2 now. Both the Z890 only have 4 SATA (but heaps of M2) so myabe I just need to stop being a dinosaur and get more M2

Would appreciate some thoughts/discussion around Z790/Z890 as have been chewing over and reading for a few weeks now and haven't really settled.

PS All going into the original Corsair Air 540 coz it's a nice spacious case and I'll put a new USBC something in the front to tie to the mobo headers.

Much thanks in advance for any thoughts.

EDIT based on @Lutfij thanks man.The seasonic PSU is original build, 10years old.
Budget approx $2500-$3000 AUD
Location Australia. Prefer local stores (e.g Mwave/Scorptec etc) rather than just online. Not amazon.
usage mainly video edit/fx/3d renders with some gaming

Just an FYI, Asus is no longer the brand it used to be until the pandemic happened and everything in their product portfolio has been...sub par, save for some innovations.

4 sticks of ram will add undue stress on the Integrated Memory Controller(IMC) and could lead to instability issues if you go with high frequency ram kits. The sweet spot for Intel's 12th Gen onwards with DDR5 was/is 6000MHz or slightly higher in 2x ram kit config. If you want to go with higher capacity sticks of ram, use the memory QVL or drop down the frequency, like DDR5-5600MHz.

How old is the PSU?

With the advent of NVME SSD's you don't need to have a RAID0 setup. RAID1, perhaps but RAID0 would've been a must a decade ago.

You would need to mention your budget, your preferred site for purchase and your location. Essentially everything asked of in this thread;

*How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

and the community can chime in with worthwhile suggestions.

Thanks man. Have edited based on your guide, much appreciated.

PSU is the original, so 10years old.
The RAID0 is a price thing - 2 x 2TB Barracuda much cheaper than a 4TB nvme. That said, I'm probably just hanging onto the 2xHDD RAID as a legacy thought rather than a practical one (aside cost).

Sad to hear that about Asus, but yea, that's what seems to be the consensus. Hate to turn my back on the last 10 years of longevity with my Z97 🙁

If you want know more about ASUS LGA1851 motherboards and 265K, check my replies, I've talked a lot about that 😉
