Hey guys / gals -
I'm looking for advice and resources to use as I plan out a new home computer build.
Some Background: I've never built my own computer. I am coming off a early 2009 iMac that doesn't cut it and after seeing recent changes with adobe software and how poorly my 10k MacPro trashcan at work is not cutting it - i'm interested in building a machine for my freelance editing, as well as day-to-day use. I shoot and edit videos for a career ranging from 1080 to 4k, and up to 8K for VR video.
Primary Software: Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Davinci Resolve, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Cinema 4D, Kolor VR software. (I do more standard editing / compositing as opposed to VR - but high chance of a lot more VR in the future).
Budget: 800-2k - doesn't need to be the absolute best, but not entry level. Some midline perhaps as I am not full-time freelance ATM - money is a concern as I will also need new monitors and to buy OS etc.
How to build: - I saw a thread on here that looked like a good resource to that. What is the average time? If things get really complicated I can visit my brother who's build computers before and is an electronics technician but he's a short plane flight away.
Thanks for help in advance, and patience.
