Great starter Premiere Pro computer

Actually, that is the spec of the Z270 (and Z170) chipset, according to Intel. All Z270 (and Z170) motherboards run their m.2 socket off of the PCIe Gen3 lanes on their PCH. This leaves all 16 available PCIe Gen3 lanes on the CPU for discrete GPUs.

meh, unbalanced with the gtx 1070. a budget 4-core intel pc should cost closer to $1k. if 8th gen intel rumors are true, it will make this 4-core system look bad at that price. for that same price there are dell and hp computers with 8 core amd ryzen and gtx 1060 or rx 580.
