I have a GoPro Hero 11 action camera which is capable of shooting in 5.3k 60fps at 120Mbps bitrate. Which is a lot of any personal computer. I can't even play a 5.3k video on my old i3 6th generation desktop. I have been thinking of upgrading my computer for a while. I am not into gaming so I do not want to spend an awful lot of money on dedicated GPU. I am thinking of buying i9 12900k with 32GB DDR5 ram.

Also will the difference between i7 12700k and i9 12900k significant in this specific usecase? I am likely to use adobe premiere for editing. But I could use
