Hi all complete noob to the forum, please bear with me. Im a professional video editor, do half my work for personal projects and the other half for cooperate work. No matter what the task is tho im doing alot of motion graphics, raw 1080p, 2.7k, 4K video files, and i also do alot of 3D Modeling and rendering. Il be the first to say ive been a "Mac Fan Boy" for a while, this has been my third Mac Pro and honestly im sick of them. Everything is such an ordeal and all the parts are ridiculous ( not to mention the computer its self ). I edit using Adobe CS6, and all my 3D work is done in Houdini/Cinema 4D ( I love 3ds Max however not supported by mac.. *Another big reason im going windows )
So basically my Latests 12 Core Mac Pro has been having issues and just being sluggish. Im not to happy working on it anymore and dealing with these issues. So im selling the old 8 Core, Giving the 12 Core to my assistant and buying myself a PC Rig to replace it.
*I have owned and worked on PC Rigs in the past however never built one from the ground up, so im a noob in that aspect.
A new 12 Core Mac Pro would of cost me $6k and for $4k i know i can have a PC that smokes that. However im wanting to build myself this time as i enjoy all the techy stuff and think im capable of doing it, and i can save some more money in the midst of it all.
Heres where i need help, im a noob with all the components now adays. Having macs i never had to worry about all this lol. So heres what im wanting and yall tell me what im missing and if its all gona come out working like i want. Also a good website to order from ? I want the whole package bought and shipped so i can just build and not wait for pieces for weeks from different places.
