First PC Build for Premiere, After Effects and some Cinema 4D

[l_butler36]

Hello,

I've decided to finally make the switch from my iMac and am building my first PC. My primary use is for video editing and compositing with Premiere Pro and After Effects, and I've recently begun integrating Cinema 4D (Lite) into my work.

Here's the list of components I'm currently looking at and would appreciate any feedback.

Loving this site too, it's been very helpful in my research!

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 3.5 GHz 16-Core Processor
COOLER: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler
MOTHERBOARD: MSI MEG X570 UNIFY ATX AM4 Motherboard
MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
STORAGE: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
VIDEO CARD: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card
CASE: Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case
POWER: Corsair RMx (2018) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Great Build, I see no issues whatsoever Of course having some more storage options like an additional ssd for OS/Apps and a HDD for Backups and Archiving would give you some more safety when drives fail, and organize it would be easier to keep your projects separate from your applications or caches - easier to organize.

But other than that, go for it!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm adding an additional SSD, and also have an 8TB external for storage and backups. Can't wait to get to work on this thing!
