Well kind of... here is what I'm running. It's incredibly fast.

64 Gb Ram

3 drives

Drive one NVME - OS
Drive two SSD - output video
Drive three Gtech Raid (thunderbolt) - source video

3.4 GHZ I7 processor

8 GB GTX 1070 video card

--------------------
I use ADOBE for my footage...

My advice:

Most important . Get the fastest processor you can afford more cores = faster renders

32 GB RAM

Fast drives are important but using multiple drives yields the best results.

If you use ADOBE the GPU is also critical. ADOBE uses GPU acceleration. So get a card that has a high cuda core count.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
That setup kills it, I assume.

I'm going to have to get by on something less for now, but it is all extremely helpful.
