Hello,
I've posted before and received excellent advice, but I'm getting very close to buying now so I just wanted advice on a couple of things before pulling the trigger.
The machine will mainly be used for editing 4k video using Premiere Pro.
Primarily, I want to know if I should be reaching for a better graphics card? The rest of the machine is top or near top spec choices, and at the limits of my budget, so due to cost I've selected a relatively lowly graphics card. Should I be lowering the other specs in order to bump up the graphics card choice? Or is CPU king? Will I notice the difference if I get the cheapest ROG GPU?
Also, I'd appreciate any words of wisdom regarding quiet power supplies and CPU cooling. I'm prepared to spend some money keeping my PC relatively cool and quiet, but I've been surprised in the past what some things people think they can call 'silent'. Are silent fans really worth the money?
Thanks in advance for your help!
