New Editing PC after laptop for 6 years

[window136]

6 years ago I ordered a laptop from PC specialist.

It has served me well but it's now time to upgrade.

I'm a video editor (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and dabble in 3D animation (cinema 4d) - Please rate my new spec!

If I am honest I haven't got a clue ref your build (looks awesome btw, a proper beast), but doing the type of work that you want to do, would it not be worth squeezing in a bit more RAM to help out with the 2080Ti and the AMD chip? Is this build at the max of your budget? I ask as i can only see one hard drive and it's not the best available. But good luck

Thanks for the reply bro, I can probably push it to £3500 max - I'll up the Ram to 32GB and change the SSD, do you have any reccomendations?

TBH, I really wouldn't configure those components into micro builds, it's just not a good idea, you can't spec out the cooling required as well as other quite serious limitations.

As an example of a more appropriate build, it's taking you slightly over budget including the screen but notes beside each:

Case
FRACTAL MESHIFY C BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Much more appropriate case, imperative to airflow and general cooling
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) Monster CPU
Motherboard
ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (DDR4, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX/SLI) - RGB Ready! Normally wouldn't assign such a high end Mobo, but for that chip it's worth it
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB) You'll want 32Gb as a minimum
Graphics Card
11GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti - HDMI, 3x DP GeForce - RTX VR Ready!
1st Storage Drive
2TB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 470MB/W) Only left this is as you'd configured it, but usually a 7200RPM HDD would be more suitable for storage, this is a major area to save some cash
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 520 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 5000MB/R, 4400MB/W) New standard M2 drive for OS and programs, fastest drive available, 10 times faster than the previous drive you'd configured.
2nd M.2 SSD Drive
256GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (1900 MB/R, 1100 MB/W) Basic M2 to be used as scratch drive
DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
NOT REQUIRED
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Superb quality PSU for the higher end components
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler You need ultimate cooling on that CPU
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING Cooler comes pre applied with high quality paste
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Wireless/Wired Networking
WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS

Google Chrome™
Monitor
AOC U2879VF 28" 4K Monitor - 3480 x 2160, 1MS, HDMI, DVI, DP Much more suitable monitor, previous was 1080p which would be extremely restrictive, this is 4k which is 4 x the pixel count. Not only a sharper image, but gives you more real estate for the video editing workflow
