My video editing setup has kind of been crippled lately (stupid Adobe suite and it's endless updating) -_- Essentially what I was thinking was I could simply upgrade the motherboard/memory. However, @USAFRet helped me see it's likely going to involve CPU, PSU, GPU in addition to Motherboard & RAM. 
He pointed me to this forum.
I'd like to keep this build as affordable as possible, but it's very important that I can adequately edit 4k footage for work.
(I'm a media producer by profession, The quarantine has increased my remote work. I don't game on my PC.)
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
