Dear all,

I spend a week to learn build a workstation for 4K video editing. I followed the HackToshNoob's list:

Placed my order! Here is what the build will entail. Final Thoughts Welcome:

Gigabyte LGA 1151 Intel Z170 ATX Motherboard (GA-Z170X-Designare)
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB Gaming OC Edition
Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Processor

BUT, in my country, I can not find reseller and I can not buy in internet (local bank not good).

I just find the list below:

ASUS H170 PRO, i7-6700K, GTX1060, 2x8GB DDR4...

PROs, Could you please comfirm this list can editing 4K by FCPX? If not, please recommend for a instead.

Thanks and waiting your help.

P/S: I think mainboard not enough for 4K.

You'll want to get a Z170 motherboard with the I7-6700K. The GTX 1060 is not supported so don't buy that. If you can afford a 32 GB ram kit go with that if not, go with 16GB. You could use a GTX 970 or an R9 280X graphics card if available locally.

unfortunately. I can not find a z170 motherboard. Could you recommend other list ( 2015 ) for me? Thanks
 
How about a Haswell Z97X and an I7-4790K ? Would those be available locally ?

I found a z170, but it is very cheap, just support DDR3. I worry it isn't good choice: http://phongvu.vn/thiet-bi-tin-hoc/...us/bo-mach-chinh-mainboard-asus-z170p-d3.html. Your mind talk about this z170, trs96? Thanks

Now I found a reseller (secondhand):

- Z170 Pro Gaming.
- Core i7-6700K
- GTX 970
- 2x8GB DDR4 (2666)

Look ok for me?
Tks.
 
Need more specific info about the motherboard model. Who makes it ? If it is the Asus version that is in the Buyer's Guide it will work. The 6700K is also fully supported.

Sorry. This is
GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-UD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
- Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151

It is in list Buyer's Guide.
 
Looks like a great combo of CPU and motherboard. Now find the best graphics card you can afford for the software editing program you will be using. In general, FCP X works best with AMD and Premiere Pro with the Nvidia cards. What are the choices you have for these ?
