I'm trying to put together the componets for a build that would be used for: All of the Adobe CC suite (specifically Premiere Pro and After Effects), Davinci Resolve (for color grading), and some Cinema4D work. In premiere pro we would need to be able to handle multiple video layers of 4K log and ProRes footage. This is the build I was researching, and I would love to hear any community thoughts on it...

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Processor, 3.5GHz w/ 72MB Cache

Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 UNIFY w/ DDR4-3200, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, 802.11ax, SLI / 3-Way CrossFire

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 (4x 16GB) w/ Vengeance Airflow RAM Cooler

Cooling: Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II Series 120 All-In-One Water CPU Cooler

Power: Seasonic Focus 750 Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold, 750W

Graphics: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Black GAMING 8GB PCI-E w/ HDMI, Triple DP, USB-C

SSD for C Drive: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 PCI-E x4 SSD, 1TB

SSD for Footage/Projects: Samsung 860 PRO 2.5" SATA III 2.5in SSD, 2TB

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank You!!!!

As of 2019 LGA 2011-v3 is "best" motherboard for the $$ (LGA 2066 is too much $$)
-https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/X299-vs-X99-What-is-the-Difference-979/
--LGA 2011 use Haswell-E (Core i7-59xx/58xx) or Broadwell-E (Core i7-69xx/68xx)
---Haswell-E up to 8 cores Broadwell-E up to 10 cores (discontinued)
--LGA 2066 use Skylake-X (Core i7-78xx & i9-79xx) or Kaby Lake-X (Core i7-77xx)
-my current computer is LGA 2011 but early generation CPU w/6 cores, built July 2014

I have a 256Gig SSD for Windows and all programs, and only use about 80Gig

 

I would reduce the size of your boot drive and add a 3rd SSD for all project and temporary files

Hi John,

With the organization I'm involved in, the I/T department is making this reccommendation... What are your thoughts on it?

 

No idea what the motherboard would be but it's a Dell Precision and this is CPU, GPU and RAM... 

CPU: Intel Xeon W-2125

GPU: Nvidia Quadro P2000

Ram: 64GB DDR4 2666MHz

 

Thank you for your help!!!!

Ian
