Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum (and the world of building) but I need to make a PC that I can pretty hardcore process 4k video using premiere pro.
This parts list seems like a good starting point, but I think it would be smart for me to get 64GB of RAM.

Do you guys have any advice? should I be looking for a different processor or any issues I need to learn about?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Looks good to me! Some things to consider: An Nvidia GPU might run certain Software better, such as premiere pro, as more effects and video encoding are better support through CUDA.

The next gen of AMD CPUs is only a few days away, so might be interesting to see what they are offering once official benchmarks hit the news. 64GB of RAM would certainly make sense, as RAM is quite cheap currently anyway.
