I've been told that it is a good idea to buy a power supply with slightly more power than is required by your components. Keep in mind that this case does not have space for any optical drives if that is important to you. It's beautifully simple and modern looking while still having USB 3.0 jacks on the top. Other than the cooler not fitting perfectly, I absolutely love this case. Case - NZXT H500 Mid-Tower Caseįor this build, I went with a smaller mid-sized case because I didn't need extra room for hard drives or a DVD drive. If you want to save some money, check out the RTX 2070 or buy a used or overstocked GTX 1070 or 1080. At the moment, Premiere hardly performs any better with the RTX 2080 compared to the much older GTX 1080 so this card is probably overkill unless gaming is also a priority (which it is for me). A high-end card can make playback more smooth and exporting/rendering much faster. Premiere uses a dedicated graphics card only when certain effects are added to clips on the timeline. One drive might be all you need and will save you a few hundred dollars. All of our files will be kept separately on a Synology 1819+ so I don't need a ton of internal storage.

Storage - Samsung 1 TB 970 PRO NVMe M.2įor this build, I decided to use two m.2 drives one for Windows, and the other for all of my software.

RAM is one of the easiest components to upgrade later if you find that you need more. I chose 64 GB or RAM for my build but 32 GB might be plenty for you and can save you tons of money.

RAM - Crucial 64 GB Ballistix Elite Series DDR4 3000 MHz I chose this motherboard because it had space for two m.2 solid state drives, 8 RAM slots, Wi-Fi, and USB 3.0 for the front and back panel. Next, I needed to choose a motherboard with the correct socket for my i9 processor (LGA 2066). If you want something cheaper and easier to install, I'd recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It ended up being a pain to deal with and it didn't perfectly fit in our case. I chose the Kraken X6 because I wanted water cooling and I liked the way it looked. Remember that if you decide to buy a different processor for your build, you will need a different motherboard and cpu cooler that fits your specific chip. Surprisingly the 7900x may not show much improvement in Premiere in real-world use when compared to the Intel Core i7-9700K which is less than half the price. Yes, there are faster, more expensive CPUs out, but at $1,000 this processor is already a splurge. I chose this processor because it has a balance between clock speed (3.3 GHz) and cores (10).

The Ultimate Adobe Premiere Pro PC Build Processor - Intel Core i9-7900X If you want an all around graphics card that will perform well while at the same time allowing multiple monitors and the option to game, I recommend the RTX 2060 or the cheaper GTX 1060. Photoshop and Lightroom use a dedicated graphics card for certain tasks but an ultra expensive graphics card may not perform any better than one a quarter of the price. Keep in mind that the processor you choose will determine socket size and motherboard you need to buy. One of the best-performing CPUs for these programs at the moment is the i7-9700k processor but if you want to save some money, the i5-9600k is a fantastic choice as well. The computer I built in the video above was designed for Adobe Premiere but if you don't work in Premiere, or you want to save some money, I've got some recommendations below.Īdobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic currently take advantage of a higher clock speed processor with up to eight cores. What If I Only Work In Photoshop and Lightroom? The average computer user will see a noticeable boost in performance by simply adding additional RAM (memory) and swapping out a spinning hard drive for a faster solid state drive, but other components like the processor and graphics card can also help in certain applications.

We need a new PC for our new studio in Puerto Rico and for this build, we are going all out.Īlmost any computer on the market today can handle web browsing, email, and word processing, but if you're reading this, there is a good chance you need your computer to do much more.īefore buying computer parts, ask yourself: which programs do I use and what hardware does that software use? How much ram do I really need? Am I storing my data internally or externally? Do I want to play games on the computer?
