New hardware suggestions? [Was Re: Premiere Pro CC2019 Causing Full Crash of Computer]

RjL190365  wrote It's partly due to the fact that the i7-4930K has only 6 cores and 12 threads, but is also of the relatively inefficient Ivy Bridge E generation. A new mainstream 6-core/6-thread i5-9600K(F) is only slightly less powerful (slower) than that nearly six-year-old i7-4930K but would not have broken the bank. Heck, even an i5-9400F (if you don't plan to use Intel's QuickSync hardware H.264/H.265 encoding and you're planning to use a discrete GPU anyway) is almost as powerful as the i5-9600K, given its current ridiculously low price. (Of course, you will need a new motherboard and new RAM for those new CPUs.) Now, the older i7 is almost always a 4-core, 8-thread CPU. Which generation is that CPU? First (Bloomfield/Lynnfield)? Second (Sandy Bridge)? Third (Ivy Bridge)?

I would like to start looking into updating my main editing rig. What hardware would you suggest if I got a new mainboard, CPU, and memory? I'd like to keep my cost of those three around $1,500, but I could possibly go up to $2,000 if there's a large jump in performance. I'd love to get your opinion as well, Ann.
