Help with computer build for Adobe CC

[jeppelion]

Hey!

So, I'm helping my father put together a (relatively) high-end computer that he will be using for Adobe CC (mainly Premiere Pro and After Effects). He currently works in 1080p, but I would love for his new computer to be futureproof for work in 4K, if at all possible. As it stands, his main problem with his current computer is timeline-performance

I am somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to computer parts, but I'm not that familiar with any specific requirements for Adobe CC.

This is the preliminary list of parts that i put together:

CPU: AMD Threadripper 1920X,

MOBO: Any ATX TR4-motherboard (depends on stock availability, would love suggestions here), currently Gigabyte Aorus X399 Gaming 7,

Storage: 2 500GB Samsung 860s (He will be keeping some of his old hard drives, hence the low storage space),

PSU: Seasonic FOCUS Plus Platinum 750W (might be overkill, but I wanted some headroom for future upgrades),

GPU: ASUS GTX 1080,

RAM: Corsair LPX 32GB (2x16GB),

Case: Fractal Design Define R6.

The cost for this is roughly 2700 USD (converted from out local currency). I would prefer not to exceed this pricepoint.

My main questions/concerns:

Will the system above be a big upgrade over his old system (i7 3930k, GTX 780, 32GB RAM), specifically in Adobe CC? I understand that it is hard to quantify, I just don't want him to spend close to 3000$ on a system that isn't a big step up in performance from his old system.

Would it be better to go with an Intel-based system?

Is there a specifik storage setup that would be optimal for Adobe CC?

I would be super gratefull for any and all questions and help I can get!

Regards,

Jesper

Ae profits a lot from parallel execution and Pr needs a great GPU to compute transitions and the final film. Both need fast harddisk access and a lot of memory especially if working in 4k.

For classic harddisk access, stripes would be ideal. HD is no problem on any modern computer, but 4k (and may be later 8k) will shuffle much more data into the memory and back on the disk and it is hard work for the computer to keep the flow running.

Your config looks great for me.
