My first thread in this forum 😀. Im looking to build a system for video editing that runs around 1.5k. I mostly use adobe afterfx cc 2014 and adobe premiere pro cc 2014. I need one that can render the video as fast as possible because my current pc renders too slow.I mainly edit HD videos. Please suggest me some good builds.I don't know much about choosing computer parts so please be specific thanks.I did a lot of research but what confused me is that some say that processor is more important than the graphics card and vice versa. So please explain to me which one is more important when it comes to rendering video and video editing in general.
Thanks in advance
