Need advice and recommendations for this build that I come out with. Will be doing mostly video editing, color grading, and motion graphics on this system. Softwares use Davinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop. Not sure if the hardware are compatible and am also open to suggestions for better / more cost-effective parts. The budget is currently set at $6000 but ofc lesser is better. Currently it is at $4.5k.

Personal use or for work/office use?

- For work/office, recommend get a quotation for workstation.
- For personal use wise:

CPU wise depending on budget, if you have more cash than go for AMD R9 5950X 16 Core
compare with R9 5900X is 12 core.
For video editing, best to have lots of RAM as well as fast storage.

Graphic card wise you will have to consider between Geforce and Quadro.
Geforce is actually meant for gaming while for professional use, there are quadro cards like NVIDIA QUADRO RTX A4000 around $2k.
Difference between Quadro and Geforce is Quadro supports OpenGL acceleration, uses
far lesser power than RTX3000 cards.

Quadro graphic card can't game so running games on it will lag badly.

Should consider 360 aio, if not Coolermaster MA624 Stealth as an alternative

have something similar but with a deepcool 360ex cooler front mounted. had the dark pro 4 at first . too close to the glass pannel for my liking about 1cm. using the 3060ti for basic after effects and premier pro . works like a charm

I am using it mostly for work, probably little to none gaming did my research on the Quadro but will still prefer the Geforce cards.

Just saw the ASUS X570 Proart board, love it, will probably get that instead.

The reason for getting the Lianli Mesh is because I want to air cool the system. I feel it's safer going the air cool route as it has longer longevity and lesser maintenance requirecd. The MA624 seems like a good fan but it is slightly taller than the dark rock pro 4, think the bro below already has a slight issue with the dark rock fan already.

after reading what you have wrote. do you do tons of data transfering? if not get a B550M will save your headaches on heat issues. the Aero G board is not thunderbolt ready and it only make sense if you use it to do compliation and to save your data in your local hard drive. the B550 Vision D is far more superior compared to the Aero G. As for processing power. if you do have the extra 300 bucks to spare. just go for the 5950x, compilation time might be only a small margin but the heat on 5950x and 5900x. there is a big difference. 5950x run cooler in my case, not gaming.

Also of all m.2 why sabrent? get something more mature of editing. like the Koxia for storage and either Samsung Pro 980, WD 850 or Firecuda 520 as your operation and program drive. personally I use a X570 board and running off 3 x m.2 Firecuda 520. As compared to the heat.. Firecuda and samsung 980 are cooler than WD 850. transfer rate is remarkable. my settings are 1tb for OS , 1tb for editing progy and 2tb for temporary storage before transfering them to my nas or cloud.

For Sabrent, I have used it like 8 months, they get slower and slower and giving errors. yes heavy usage on them. had trouble with RMA and with their customer service. if you into games I have nothing to say but for work daily drive, stay clear from these m.2, they are not reliable nor durable.

For rams, you did your homework, those are excellent rams, these rams are at the sweet spot for editing. however do you need so much rams? you opening up alot of editing program at the same time? if it is, then 64 is justable, average media person will only need 32GB @ 3600 CL 16 with good tight timing (no need OC x.m.p and setting the Infinity Fabric)

I believe you have done your research and not sure if you came accross these two reviewers.

I do watch a lot of video from TechNotice.

Thanks for the heads-up on Sabrent SSDs, guess I will go for Samsung 980 instead. I do a lot of transferring therefore storage and speed are important for me. I will go for the Asus Proart X570 board instead as suggested by techidiot. Currently, I am on 32GB ram and felt that it is insufficient so I decide to go for 64GB and yes I often go between my editing programs, and sometimes continue to edit while exporting.
