This will be my second build and I'm looking for a big bang for my buck. This build should be very powerful. (I'll add a power supply later) If anyone sees an opening for a much better component than anything I've selected please let me know!

Oh - and the programs I'll be using will mostly be Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, and Cinema 4D

Thanks in advance!

For a workstation you would really benefit from 32gb of ram, and you should get 4 ram sticks to take advantage of all the channels on the motherboard. A Gtx 970 4gb will have some problems running 4K and I’d recommend using a Gtx 1060ti 6GB or an RX 580/570 8GB
