If current Gen Intel, than anything that's an i7 or higher and if AMD, anything that's a Ryzen 7 or higher though please keep in mind that your one lined question without any context doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in a community that happens to know a lot with regards to tech and what to recommend in practically any scenario.

With a 600 budget, and for general use, gaming and editing

Do you have a motherboard?
Does your budget include anything else like a motherboard and ram?
I9-13900K is the best you can do today with a $600 budget:

You will need an appropriate lga1700 motherboard and probably upgraded cooling.
