PC Setup

I get questions about my PC hardware often. My setup is completely overkill for coloring, but I do a lot of video editing, so keep that in mind! Here's my current setup:

Intel Core i7 5820K
Asus Sabertooth X99
G.Skill 32GB DDR4-2400
Samsung 950 Pro 512GB M.2
EVGA GTX 1080 8GB
Fractal Design Define R5
Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum PSU

Tablet

I am currently using a Wacom Intuos Art (Medium) & an iPad Pro 12.9 (2017)

I manage my YouTube channel with Tubebuddy. Great product for bulk copy editing and bulk annotation and card updating.
