I want to build a computer specifically for video editing with adobe premiere and after effects. I already have the OS and a 240gb ssd but would like a 1tb or 2tb drive as well. I thought about buying a used 970 gpu for around $200... Whatever you think will work. Please Help soon I need to build this asap.
 
This could be a good way to go:

The Haswell-E i7 will be a great video editor for a long long time to come.
 


This + a 970 and maybe another 16 gigs of ram. Excellent.
