Question PC upgrade for Gaming & Editing

[Rudiano]

Hi all, I currently have a PC with the following specs:
GeForce GTX 1080
i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
Gigabyte GA-Z270-Gaming K3 Motherboard
32 GB RAM
Kingston SSDNow UV400 960 GB SSD

I used it mostly for gaming but I will be doing a lot of 1080p/4K video editing from now on (Adobe Premiere) so Im looking to upgrade my CPU now:

• Would the new Ryzen 7 3700x be a recommended upgrade?
• Would it be compaitble with my current setup or will other parts also need upgrading? motherboard etc
• Would it shorten times of video encoding and would it be noticeable to my current CPU?

I am also looking to get a RTX 2080Ti in a few months time.

Thanks

Well yeah, R7 3700x is going to run circles around 7700 specially in multi core applications.

Would the 3700x be compatible with my current build?

Of course not, yours is Intel, you would also need a new motherboard.

Thanks, this is what I needed to know. Everything else is ok right?
