Question

PC for Premiere Pro

Hello,

I would like to buy a new PC to work with Premiere and sometimes AE. The image quality of the material that I use usually does not exceed 1080p. I already did some research and settled for the following components:

 

CPU:

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

GPU:

MSI GeForce RTX2070 Armor 8GB

RAM:

G.SKill TridentZ RGB 32GB

HARD-DRIVES:

1) Crucial MX500 500GB, SATA (CT500MX500SSD1)

2) Crucial MX500 1TB, SATA (CT1000MX500SSD1)

 

Can anybody give me some feedback? Is it ok? to little? to much? Did I miss something important?

I really have no idea 🙂

 

Thanks in advance!

Marius

1 - Use the Power supply calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp (the PRO version has more options) to determine your power supply needs to be sure 650w is enough

 

2 - if you do decide to edit 4k adding 2x16 ram sticks should be easy

      Which motherboard will you be going with?

       

      I'm asking this because your chosen storage will become a bottleneck. The secondary SSD should be an m.2 PCIe drive, not a SATA drive, for the CPU that you have currently chosen, especially if you're buying new.

        A good question! I honestly have no idea. I don't know a lot about hardware. I could walk into a shop to let them choose for me. But I would like to hav a general idea first. What motherboard would you suggest?
