I'm building a PC. I'm gonna do it. I'm a freelance videographer/photographer/mograph dude, and I'm looking to create something in the $1200 - $1500 (CDN) range, that is primarily going to be used as a video editing/motion graphics work horse, that can handle 4K. I will also play games on it, because I can't help myself. I'm ideally looking for a build that I can plunk the initial investment into, and upgrade later on down the road when some more bucks roll in. I've been doing the bulk of my work on a MacBook Pro for the last 5 years, and it's probably been a good 15 years since I last built a custom box or had any idea about how computer parts actually work, what speeds are optimal, etc etc. So I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark a bit here. Main apps will be Premiere, After Effects, Cinema4D, Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. etc. Here's the parts list I'm currently looking at. I'm working with a local store that I trust to source everything. I think this build is currently running closer to $2000 after taxes - The store is telling me that a lot of the listed prices here are inaccurate, so I was looking for some clarity in that regard too. Advice on where I could cut corners and upgrade later, or any better recommendations for certain components that would serve me better would also be greatly appreciated!

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Uhhh, one problem is that a Z97 motherboard will not take an i7-5820k CPU, you need an X99 board and DDR4 RAM for that. Here is an X99 spec based on yours: Thanks! In checking back over their quote, they actually had an Intel 4790k for the processor. I made some modifications to the list without checking compatibility/price. For reference, this was the build they quoted me, modified from an original that I proposed: quote:CPU: Intel i7-4790K I ended up deciding I'd do the labour myself, so that would knock about $75 off.
