I'm building my first PC and want to game at 1440p with good framerates, while also being able to edit 4K videos in Premiere for work. I know AMD is generally better for gaming, but Intel CPUs are often recommended for Adobe applications. I'm curious if I can pair a solid Intel CPU with an AMD GPU without running into issues. Are there any specific problems I might face? Also, I understand NVIDIA might be superior but it's pricier, especially for my needs since I'm not focusing on ray tracing. My total budget for this build is around $2000.

As an AMD enthusiast, I’d recommend looking at NVIDIA for your needs, especially for editing software. But if you are set on AMD, check out local stores like Micro Center where you might find good bargains. They often have bundles that could save you a lot, like a Ryzen CPU with a compatible motherboard and RAM.
If you're considering a powerful AMD CPU like the 9950X3D, it could balance gaming and editing quite well, as it offers amazing performance with its 16 cores and 32 threads. But it might be tough to fit that into a $2000 budget depending on your GPU choice.
Yes, you can absolutely use an Intel CPU with an AMD GPU. However, keep in mind that NVIDIA GPUs typically offer better performance with Adobe software. If you're looking for a full build suggestion, consider posting in a dedicated build forum for tailored advice.
