Hi guys. I am planning to build a setup for video and photography editing (basically Premier, After effects, Photoshop etc.)

I am clear that my GPU will be the 4060Ti with 16GB of VRAM. My specific question would be: In your opinion, what would be the best option in this case and why?

Ryzen 5800X with 32 GB of ram at 3600Mhz DDR4?

Intel 12700KF with 16 GB of ram at 5600Mhz DDR5?

This seeing that the price variation is basically zero between both setups.

Thanks a lot!

The Intel will outperform the AMD CPU in most Adobe CC apps.
I would recommend the 12700 or 12700K (not the F) as QuickSync will help with your video editing, as well as provide GPU redundancy.
Makes more sense to go with the Intel 12th Gen and perhaps squeeze the budget a bit for more RAM.
