I'm trying to build a desktop to run Premiere Pro (4K). I just switched to it from years of using Premiere Elements. This HP configuration below looks a bit short of CPU and other specs at Puget, but the price is right at $1600. I priced a Dell and Lenovo at about $4,000 which seems high, though met Puget specs. I'd like to find something closer to $2,000 but the jump from below specs to $4,000 seems to be all I can find. Any suggestions?
