Post Body

I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 (originally made this system to game but got into video editing as a side job) and it is not enough to run more of the intensive video editing sessions. If I try to layer more than 3-4 videos in one section, my machine starts chugging like crazy (DaVinci Resolve).

My specs are

Ryzen 5 2600

GTX 1070 SC EVGA

32GB DDR 4 3200

DaVinci Resolve 16

*Edit ASUS B450 F Gaming Mobo

I wanted to know if I should hold out for a 5950 to normalize in price or just pull the trigger and go for a 3950X for $750.
