A 'fast' video editing computer build for $2,000
While talking to another user about his planned 2021 build, I made a list of my own
I do not do RAID drives, so I only specified SSD drives for this build
530 10 Core 3.7GHz https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i9-10900k-core-i9-10th-gen/p/N82E16819118122
213 https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232939
MB has 4 Ram slots, so could go to 128 Gig... especially if only use Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel UHD Graphics 630 uses "up to" 64Gig of system memory for video
Intel UHD Graphics 630 is limited to no more than half of installed ram
120 Motherboard https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119303
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-H470-PLUS/
4 x DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR4 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
There are higher $$ motherboards with Z490 controller, this is my choice
Intel H470 controller has more PCIe lanes and USB 3.2 compared to B460 controller
1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (supports x16 mode) use this for RTX2060
1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (supports x4 mode)
4 x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots
M.2 slot (Key E)
--> M.2_1 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280/22110 (supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode)
-use this for super fast M.2 boot/program drive at x4 speed

M.2_2 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports SATA & PCIe 3.0 x2 mode)*
* When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2_2 socket, SATA6G_2 port cannot be used
100 500Gig boot M.2 https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FireCuda-Performance-Internal-ZP1000GM30001/dp/B07ZPRRSPX
Win10 and all programs (plus the Documents folder for Microsoft Office)
A Z490 motherboard is required to use two M.2 drives at the full x4 speed
55 500G work https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-500gb/p/N82E16820250087
Temporary 'cache' and output files (MP4 for computer playback or ISO for DVD)
90 1T Input/backup https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-1tb/p/N82E16820250088
Input from camera and all backup files (Documents folder on boot drive)
103 Full Tower Case https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811147053?Item=N82E16811147053
If you need a Thunderbolt port (I don't) this is not the case for you
My limited understanding is that Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB-C case port
Comes with 4 fans for cooling and the option for a 5th (bottom) fan
120 Power 850watt https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-mwe-gold-850-v2-mpe-8501-afaag-us-850w/p/N82E16817171180
https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/ - not counting case fans 500 watt
A power supply should not be run at capacity, so I decided on 850 watt 'Gold"
35 CPU cooler https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-hyper-212-black-edition-rr-212s-20pk-r1/p/N82E16835103278

360 RTX2060 https://www.newegg.com/zotac-geforce-rtx-2060-zt-t20600k-10m/p/N82E16814500495
High end (for me) video card that doesn't break my budget of $2,000
