I'm building my first PC and have always used Intel for the last 10 years. While I haven't had issues with After Effects, I'm facing some problems running newer games smoothly and want to upgrade. I'm not very knowledgeable about AMD and Intel differences, but I need something that will handle plugins like Sapphire and Bullet Looks effectively. My old PC was recommended for video editing due to its Intel processor, but I've heard things have changed recently. If I want this new build to excel in both gaming and After Effects, which brand should I choose?

AMD is definitely the way to go right now! They're leading the charge in gaming performance. But for video editing, both AMD and Intel work just fine, so either can be your pick depending on your needs.
For gaming, AMD is the clear choice. As for video editing with After Effects, you really can't go wrong with either. Just to get a better grasp on what's best, check out some benchmarks specifically focused on After Effects performance. They provide great insights.
Honestly, I'd say go for AMD! Don't stick to a brand just out of loyalty; choose based on what's currently best. Right now, AMD has the edge over Intel, especially for gaming. That's what you should focus on.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve been looking for reliable resources for After Effects, and this will really help me out.
