Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: ~$1000, willing to spend a bit more though.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: I'm a video editor by trade. Although I won't currently be using the system too often to edit [I work in an office that has its own machines], I want to kill two birds with one stone with this build and make sure that if I quit my current gig to freelance, I'd be able to do so efficiently. I use Adobe Premiere and After Effects, among other programs like Photoshop. I may have to consider 4K editing, but probably not. Definitely need some solid processing power for transcoding and rendering though.
Once I have met the above requirements, I would like the ability to play some games on the side. I feel that the build that will meet the above requirements should be fine for my gaming needs, but my hope would be to play most current and new games for the next year or two in high settings.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. I'm thinking just one big one rather than a dual setup.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't really care.
Location: Richmond, VA
Overclocking: I don't think so. I'm honestly not even sure what that entails. I am not a PC enthusiast, I just want to have control over the components that will go into this PC.
SLI or Crossfire: No? I don't think so?
Your Monitor Resolution: Open to suggestions. All modern video is generally output at 1080p, and I don't know if I'd need much more.
Additional Comments: Although I work with computers for a living, I'm still very very new to the actual inner workings of them. Being a video editor is more of an "artist" thing so I feel sort of clueless about building a PC. Admittedly, I send most of my technical questions to our in-house engineer at work. Any advice is good advice, don't be afraid to treat me like a dummy. The only thing I'm really sure of is that I want an SSD in the build.
Thanks so much!
