Ready to start from scratch. I'd like to stay around the $1,000-1,200 range, keep my GeForce GTX 1050 Ti if its worth doing so. Can't seem to get a smooth 4k playback. I do some home movie editing, so 32 ram? Minimal gaming. I've build many DIY systems in the past buy I'm really rusty - it's been 5 years since I put one together. This is an estate sale find that I upgraded the Graphics card and RAM a few years back. Is NewEgg and Amazon the way to buy parts? Any help is appreciated.
