Advice needed for video editing workstation

[JonnyOldham]

Hey guys, can anyone give me any input or general thoughts/tweaks on this build? It's going to be used for pretty heavy duty video editing & rendering. Using latest version of DaVinci if that makes any difference. Budget is no more than £2000. I have external hard drives for storage, so I only need space for current projects. Looking to run the OS & programs from the m.2 drive exclusively. The price of the below spec is around £1850.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The WX 7100 is now a little old, and really has advantages for things like manipulating viewports in 3d modelling applications rather than video rendering, where a consumer level Geforce card would generally offer vastly more performance. But horsepower wise, the WX 7100 is more or less an RX 480, but vastly more expensive.

You will want an X570 motherboard with its better VRMs for the R9 CPU. And a case with better airflow

Faster RAM

Probably drop the USB card as the motherboards and case have a lot already

The change to the GPU alone and the headroom in the budget could let you push for a better CPU and a faster GPU

£2000 - including Windows?
