Question Upgrading to 4k Editing Workhorse

[Clayton Moneymaker]

I have been running off this rig for several years and it's lately gotten sluggish when working with 4k. Rendering out of Premiere & After Effects takes much longer than I would like. If anyone can recommend parts for me to start upgrading to a faster system I would wholeheartedly appreciate it.

I'm thinking first would be a Motherboard upgrade compatible with DDR4 or DDR5 Memory.

The Specs Speccy gave me are as follows:

Case
Cooler Master Stryker Storm Trooper SE

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

CPU
Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz 37 °C
Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology

RAM
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)

Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. BM6650_BM6350 (LGA1155) 28 °C

Graphics
S27E510 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (EVGA) 39 °C

Storage

465GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB ATA Device (SATA (SSD)) 28 °C

Thanks again for any help!

What is your budget?

 

[Clayton Moneymaker]

Thank you for responding kanewolf. It will be an incremental thing, Probably should have highlighted that. Right now I've allotted about $500 for motherboard and memory. The other components would be purchased over time. At least ideally they would be. There's room for slightly more in the budget.
