Hi
I am building my 1st custom pc after years on working on an Imac. I won't do gaming on it this mainly to run premiere and occasionally after effect. I need a system that can handle 4k and grading, and can export and render at a decent speed.
I'll be extremely grateful if anyone could give me feedback on those spec.
Thank you

Hello,

The configuration seems pretty good, but if you consider that the PC will be used for video editing, I would strongly recommend the system with the Intel processor. It will probably be more expensive, but Intel processors in this regard are much more stable. It can be very disappointing, if you save a few dollars now, but the installation hours will continue in the future due to the non-stable processor operation. But again, I emphasize, this is purely my opinion based on my personal experience using AMD processors.

Best,
Terry

The spec seems fine. I might suggest a larger and better quality PSU (e.g. 550W TXm) to give more upgrade options, and as those units are more efficient and better quality.

Stability isn't an issue with the Ryzen systems. If it is, it's a faulty system, and any system AMD or Intel can be faulty. My Intel system had faults when it shipped originally and was unstable. Until PCS fixed it, and then it was stable.

There is an argument for Intel if you need the onboard graphics for quicksync, of course.
