The two 3TB drives are in RAID 0 and serve as my projects drive. The SSD is for OS and scratch disk. I'll have a NAS for long-term storage.
What i need:
Advice on how to upgrade this setup in a bang-for-buck kind of way to a professional editing machine that can easily handle 4K RAW video, without sacrificing too much components I already own. Of course, since time = money, a significant investment is fine if it nets me an equal or greater boost in performance which "pays" me back over time.
What i know:
- Another SSD dedicated solely for scratch would help a lot (i might use the one my OS is running on now and get a faster one for the OS)
- RAM: i now have 16gb and believe i have room for 16gb more.
What i don't know:
- CPU could use a bump? Upgrade now (Intel Core i7 5820K Boxed?) or wait for new Broadwell-E line?
- New CPU would probably mean new motherboard, which would then probably mean entirely new RAM, which then means i replace almost my entire system. Rather not do that, unless absolutely necessary.
- GPU: which card for 10bit?
Looking forward to your take on the matter!
