Question

Hey gurus,my system from 2015 is: * Win10 64Bit* Intel i7 6700K (8 core, 4 Ghz) - 6. Generation* NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB* 32 GB RAM* ASUS MB Z170-A Chipset* Samsung SSD 850 Pro 1 TB (used as C:, scratch and working files - hard discs just for offline storage. I am working with 4K material and use loads of effects, plugins (denoiser) etc. . Would I see a big difference adding a second GPU, more fast SSDs and maybe more RAM? Or should I re-start from scratch? Thanks for your time! J

For 4k I would strongly recommend restarting from scratch:

The CPU platform definitely limits your overall video editing experience, in this case. You see, the first revision of LGA 1151 is permanently limited to 4 cores and 8 threads, which meant that only 6th- and 7th-Gen Intel CPUs will work. The 8th- and 9th-Gen Intel CPUs, which introduced 6- and 8-core CPUs to the mainstream Intel desktop platform, use a socket that's physically identical but electrically incompatible, requiring the purchase of a completely new motherboard.
