PC build for After Effects and Adobe premiere

[demorah95x]

I am helping a friend from college who is graduating this year. He wishes to build a PC that can run After Effects and Adobe Premiere to almost its fullest potential. His budget range is quite flexible: $1,500-$2,500. I only have experience with putting together 2 gaming PCs, and I told him I would help him get his PC put together.
