Give me a spec for 6k editing and advanced vfx. Budget is not a problem

[Bill_Clifferd]

Hei guys,
I am going to buy a new pc, i need your suggestion for the specs. I will be using the pc for 6k editing , vfx, composition and all, i need a powerfull rig to handle this ..
TIA
😉

Monitor? Peripherals? OS? Are they in the budget?

6K Will require quite a bit of RAM. i9 should be best option or Threadripper. I have given both.

Titan in case you use the GPU as well (I know, 1080Ti may be better but it is more powerful).

Budget would be best defined, otherwise you will get very expensive builds.

$1500 is a budget which should have been mentioned, not "unlimited", with the current prices.

The 1060 can help, here:

64 gigs of RAM, 8700k, 8 TB HDD and 240 GB SSD. 1060 marked as purchased. This should help you.

Thank you for your help!
One more thing Asus ROG strix z370-e or MSI Z730-A pro, which is better and will gtx1060 handle vfx compositing in 6k?

ROG Z370 E has onboard wifi and slightly more features, the Z370 A pro is a basic board which is pretty good. If you need the features of the Z370 E, go for it.

Can't really comment on the card being able to do that, I have not too much experience with that sector. It is a powerful card, experience with that will let you know.
