I'm planning to buy a new PC soon that can handle DaVinci Resolve exceptionally well. My goal is to achieve smooth 4K timeline editing without using proxies, even when working with a variety of formats—including 4K All Intra, Long-GOP 4:2:2, 6K 4:2:0, and 5.8K 4:2:2 ProRes HQ. I almost ever user 25fps. In the future I might also use BRAW or some other 4:4:4 codecs.
I also regularly use color grading tools like noise reduction, Film Look Creator, and occasionally Magic Mask 2.0.
A Mac isn't an option for me, since I rely on other software that isn't compatible with macOS—and to be honest, I've just never been an Apple person.
Here’s the PC I'm currently considering (From PC-Specialist, sells europe wide and has good options for configuration):
An RTX 40-series GPU isn’t an option for me, as it doesn’t support 4:2:2 video formats. According to NVIDIA, the RTX 5070 Ti supports decoding of up to four 4K 4:2:2 streams at 60 FPS per decoder, which would be more than enough for my workflow.
Here’s the list of supported codecs from NVIDIA:

What do you think—does this setup sound like a killer machine, or am I overlooking something?
Lastly, I’m hoping the price will drop a bit in the coming weeks. In the Netherlands, prices tend to spike toward the end of May when people receive their holiday allowance, and then fall again to create the illusion of a bargain. And the prices are always including Tax in Europe.
