Hi there, this is a first time build for me. I've specced up this desktop for professional video and photo editing. I will be mainly using Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects and a bit of Indesign.
I'd like a balanced system which will render my film work quickly and allow me to process multiple actions at the same time. I also produce a lot of timelapse video which requires lots of processes on usually 300 or so images across Lightroom and Premiere Pro.
I have a 2k budget although I'd very much like to keep the costs down as much as possible.
I have a limited knowledge on computer hardware and overclocking so I'd really appreciate some feedback on the build!
Cheers
