The formats and codecs have a decisive impact on which hardware is ideal for playback and rendering. Raw, R3D, and DNx for example would utilize different hardware specs than H64/H265 or Pro Res for example. The rendering as well uses different specs since Rendering is not realtime priority but playback is. I would suggest atleast the following below for Raw. Increasing the specs beyond those would depend on your workflow, FX used, budget, and desired focus to improve time efficiency. i9 7900X or Higher X299 board 64GB of ram DDR4 2800+ 1080Ti SSD or M.2 OS NVMe or SSD raid Media drive Eric ADK
