I am at a point where I need to either upgrade my edit pc or simply build a new one.
I am moving from Vegas to Premiere and would like to optimize for that scenario. I am working on a series with multi-cam sequences often with 6 - 7 cameras in a sequence with some of the footage in 4k. I would like decent real-time playback and also to speed up my renders.
Here's some basic specs on my current system:
[FONT="]Motherboard - [/FONT][FONT="]ASUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/Quad SLI & Quad CrossFireX/SATA3.0&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard s SABERTOOTH X58[/FONT]
[h=1][FONT="]Processor - [/FONT][FONT="]Intel Core i7-950 3.06 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1366 Processor[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][/h] [h=1][FONT="]RAM - [/FONT][FONT="]Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9)[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][/h] [h=1][FONT="]Graphics Card - [/FONT][FONT="]EVGA GeForce GTX650Ti Boost SuperClocked 2GB GDDR5 192bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][/h]
If I upgrade, I will be adding a SSD operating/software drive and likely upgrade all four of my other internal drives.
So I guess my question is this - could I get by with simply doubling my RAM, adding another matched graphic card (in sli), or possibly a new graphics card along with a new SSD & power supply or should I bit the bullet and build from scratch? I do have about 1 - 2k in my budget but would like to allocate less if possible.
Please let me know if I am missing something or neglecting to ask the right questions. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Best, Jeff
