So i have endured with my iMac for so long and finally sold it.
Will continue to work in premiere pro / after effects - but going for Windows OS this time to get some bang for the buck.
I do have a 9Tb 4bay Raid 5 Raidbank - it will do for now - might have to update the enclosure though.
Maybe not conflicting info out on the interwebz, but deciding on what will be sufficient for me is hard.
People out there (Jared and Mark Toia) are editing amazing stuff on their laptops, which is far better spec´ed than my old mid 2011 3,4Ghz 20Gb 1333MHz.
Tempting to just go for a max speced Dell XPS 15"...
But thinking i can go for that later, and get something a bit more future proof now - or maybe the other way around?
Also people using 5K iMac´s in here, and they have positive comments about their machine.
Have made two part-lists on pcpartpicker:
Quad-core:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tn9t4C
8-core:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ncGnwV
Same parts except for motherboard and CPU - the 8-core PC have room for 128Gb Ram down the line but that only mean it will be more expensive...
No m.2 ssd´s in the part list, as i understand it will be no benefit having a NVMe for the OS - i can upgrade to a 1TB down the line for holding footage.
Planning on using the SSD disks as this:
This was a good read:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/a...Intel-Core-i7-7700K-i5-7600K-Performance-884/
Clearly a benefit with more cores, but i am not in a big rush when it comes to rendering - my main goal is to be able to render previews and actual see my color grade get applied in an instant (Old iMac did not like lumetri in premiere)...
Will mainly edit 6K r3d slowmo and maybe a few 8K realtime clips in the mix from my Epic-w - timelines will range from 5-10 min.
So off to the questions:
Recommendations and experience will be highly appreciated.
Never built a PC, but after doing som research it does not look that hard.

Planning on using the SSD disks as this:
- #1: OS
- #2: Scratch/Cache
- #3: Export
- #4 (Raidbank): Footage and project files.

So off to the questions:
- With a bit of overclocking on the quad-core PC - will i be fine or get into alot of holdups with this system?
- Does my SSD disk setup look good? is a 250Gb ssd sufficient for OS and Adobe CC?
- Any parts i should change out?
- Could i make it cheaper?
Recommendations and experience will be highly appreciated.
