Hi Everyone,
First time posting as I have been out the loop for a while in PC tech, trying to catch up with everything and thought it would be best to get input from people here.
I am a editor working mostly at production offices but with everything that has been going on I have been working at home for a while, now looking to upgrade my home PC.
I built my own PC many years ago:
i7-3930K
GTX 680 4GB
32GB Ram
512GB SSD Drive - OS
2x2TB Drive - Raid 0
1x1TB Drive - Cache
Noctua NF-F12PWM Case Fan 120 mm x 5
This has been a great PC over the years, but clients are now sending a lot of 4K through and I am getting tired of creating proxies for them.
I was hoping to build a new one that can handle 4K natively, with a budget of £1500, do you think this is doable? I will be taking the drives out the old PC to use in the new one so a full tower would be great as I will be creating raids out of the drives for faster media access. Redudancy is not a problem as I make daily and weekly backups on external drives, NAS storage and online cloud.
Any input would be great, I use Avid Media Composer, Adobe Suite, DaVinci Resolve. Clients are sending footage from Sony FS7, BMPCC 4K BRAW.
