  PC Build: 4K Video/Premiere Compatibility

  Posted by Drigan Lee on October 30, 2016 at 6:37 pm

  Hey guys!

  I’m embarking on my first PC build and want to double check Premiere/After Effects compatibility. My typical workflow is 80% Premiere/20% AE occasional Davinci Resolve/AVID with lots of 4K video. I’m trying to build a PC with the performance of a maxed out Mac Pro for way cheaper. Also, one that can breezily playback/color 4K video.

  Parts list below. (I’m sure it includes some beginner’s mistakes)

  The guts:
  CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($428.99)
  Motherboard: Asus X99-DELUXE II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($393.99)
  Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition Video Card ($696.69)
  Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($149.99)

  Other Parts:
  CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($65.38)
  SSD: Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($184.99)
  Hard Drives: 2 X Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5″ 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (2 x $118.99) with RAID set up
  Case: Silverstone Temjin SST-TJ04B-E (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($183.96)
  Power Supply: Corsair 860W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($185.98)
  Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit ($98.99)
  Total: $2626.94

  (Will figure out monitors/peripherals later)

  Mainly, trying to make sure I’m…
  Getting the best parts
  Not wasting money on parts/top of the line options that I don’t need
  Maximizing compatibility with Premiere
  Setting up a future ready system
  Not doing something egregiously dumb

  Would love any thoughts! Comments! Or links to other resources and threads!

  Thanks!
