Hi everyone,
A couple of weeks ago I posted about my 'several year old' laptop not coping with running Premiere Pro. In a nutshell, the answer was 'get a new computer'.
I'm no computer excpert by any means but after much research, I now have a good base knowledge of the specs needed to efficiently run Premeire Pro. I was keen on another laptop but with the cost and limiting nature of a laptop, I have decided to go with a desktop set up.
Now, due to massive delays and supply issues with computer components here in New Zealand, my computer guy is not able to source the parts/compnents I had in mind but is able to get hold of a HP Z4 G4 Tower workstation with the following specs.
What are your thoughts on the build and its ability to efficiently run Premiere Pro without lag and speed issues, also the 'future proofing' of the set up. (With it being a desktop set up I realise that I may be able to upgrade some bits and pieces further down the track).
HP Z4 G4 Tower
•Intel Core i9-10920X 3.5GHz Twelve Core 19.25MB Shared Cache,
•64GB DDR4 2933MHz Non ECC RAM 8X Slots 256GB Max (4X16GB),
•1TB HP Z Turbo M.2 NVMe PCIe Solid State Drive,
•DVD Writer,
•nVidia Quadro RTX4000 8GB Dedicated Graphics,
•Intel Gigabit Ethernet,
•Realtek High Definition Audio,
•1000W Power Supply 90% Efficient, 9X l 64 Bit
Many thanks,
Matt

My new build January 2021 is similar
Intel i9-10900k CPU in ASUS-Prime-Z490-P motherboard with 64Gig TEAMGROUP-3200MHz Ram
Seagate-FireCuda 500Gig M.2 for Windows and programs and usual Documents files
500Gig SSD for temporary and output files, 1T SSD for video and picture input files
Video card MSI GeForce GTX 1650 128 Bit Graphics 4Gig GDDR6 Ram + Liteon DVD drive
I like to have more than one internal drive, hence the 500G and 1T SSD drives
I wanted an RTX2060 with 6Gig to be sure of smooth playback, but it was completely out of stock
So far, even with some test 4k files that I downloaded from https://4ksamples.tumblr.com/ I have not had any problems
