> i'm under the impression that with the Xeon I'd be looking at mostly the same performance due to the fact that clock speed seems to be the most important factor for its performance. Is this right?

Where did you here that? You won't find that in the wiki here. Clock speed has very little to do with moving data. That is what video editing is. Video editing is basically logistics of LARGE amounts of data. What matters most is the speed of your scratch/preview drive. For 4k footage, you need at MINIMUM 1.2 GB's a second read and write. No amount of SSD's in a RAID 0 over SATAIII can achieve that. Today you can achieve that over M.2, U.2, SATA express or PCIe. As of now, PCIe SSD's are the most economically available solutions.

Honestly, I would look into another motherboard, perhaps a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H.

This gives you room to add a PCIe ssd AND you don't have to upgrade your perfectly capable CPU. AND also allows you to grow with SATA express or M.2 options.

Everything else looks fine!

Hi so would something like the Intel 600p be suitable?

Could I get away with this? or is the speed too slow?

Thanks.

so this is my full spec of RAM:
XPG Gammix D10 DDR4-3000 PC4-24000 8GB x 2 CL16-20-20 1.35V AX4U300038G16A-BW10

i tried looking for the model and the closest thing i could find is https://www.newegg.com/xpg-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-003P-000Z2?Item=9SIAGY99P54267

I saw this one however, same brand, which is a good price it seems, https://www.amazon.com/XPG-Z1-2400MHz-Silver-AX4U240038G16-DSZ1/dp/B07HSZYNN5/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ddr4-3000%2Bpc4-24000%2B8gbx2%2Bcl16-20-20&qid=1572118623&s=electronics&sr=1-4&th=1

Watch out; "M.2" is simply an SSD form-factor. If you're looking for a super-fast (but more expensive) SSD, what you should be looking for is an "NVMe M.2 SSD". The keyword here is "NVMe", which is the interface that blesses an SSD with extremely high speeds. An example of this would be the Samsung 970 EVO.

If you're looking for a regular-fast (and cheaper) SSD, what you're looking for is a "SATA M.2 SSD". The keyword here is "SATA", which is a slower interface that is limited to a max theoretical transfer speed of 6Gb/s (6 Gigabit, or 0.75 Gigabyte). An example of this would be the WD Blue M.2 SSD.



>What the speed up to on m.2?

Here's a comparison:

The Samsung 970 EVO, which uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 Interface, has a Maximum Sequential Read Speed of 3,500MB/s (spec listed on Samsung website).

The Corsair MP600 drive (listed by /u/yeezust), which uses a PCIe Gen 4.0 Interface, has a Maximum Sequential Read Speed of 4,950MB/s (spec listed on Corsair website).

Some peripherals I didn't include above.

Monitor is a Dell U2711 I've been using for a couple years. Might supplement with this 13" field monitor, as it's the closest thing to my laptop screen that I currently use as my 2nd monitor.

My mouse is the Anker ergonomic mouse, which you can pry from my cold dead carpel tunnel-free hand. I also use a Contour ShuttlePro. I may get a Logitech T650 if I find I miss my laptop's trackpad.

Haven't settled on a keyboard yet. Looking at the Logitech Craft.
