Hi Folks, :)

I am in the process of selecting the best package for my workstation specs, and I think I have come up with a good solution, but I would like your opinions/advice about if these specs are fit for purpose.
And my purpose for this workstation is editing DSLR footage using Adobe Premiere Pro/ After Effects, using green screen and some 3D effects for short documentaries and tutorials on Vimeo and Youtube, by way of a hobby.
I am very creative, but I am not blessed on the technical side of things, but after much research over many months I wonder if this is the best I can do with the budget of £3000 I have for a PC. Here's the specs on the build:


Intel 4th Generation Core i7 (4790K) 4GHz Quad Core Processor 8MB L3 Cache (Boxed)

2x HyperX Savage 16GB (2 x 8GB) Memory Kit 2133MHz DDR3 CL11 DIMM

Asus Z97-P Motherboard 5th/4th Gen Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron 1150 Z97 ATX RAID Gigabit LAN (Integrated Intel HD Graphics)

Corsair Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance CPU Cooler

Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250B (250GB) Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s 2.5 inch (Internal) Basic

Western Digital Black 4TB (7200rpm) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB 3.5 inch Hard Drive (Internal)

PNY Quadro K4200 4GB Professional Graphics Card

Samsung SH-224DB DVD Writer Optical Drive

Cooler Master Silencio 452 Silent Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, ATX Mid Tower Case USB 3.0 with SD Card Reader

Corsair RM650 RM Series 650 Watt Fully Modular Power Supply Unit (80 PLUS Gold Certified)

ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps PCI-E Wireless card,

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (SP1)

Feedback on what you think would be hugely appreciated, as I am nervous I have made the best choices above. :??:

 
Solution
I would suggest you split the 4tb drive into two 2tb units so that when you render you can read from one and write to the other.
If you are paying 3k for that, you are spending too much.
