I'm getting ready to build my first PC soon and I need it to handle After Effects and Premiere Pro for my job. On the side, I want to be able to game effectively too. My budget is around $4000 to $5000, and I'm trying to decide between an Intel or AMD CPU. I've heard that Intel QuickSync is a good feature, but I'm also aware that I will need a lot of RAM for video editing. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Is that budget in USD? If so, you definitely have enough to get a top-tier setup! QuickSync is often suggested for budget builds, but with your budget, you can go for a powerhouse CPU that totally rocks both editing and gaming.
Sweet, yes it's USD. What would you recommend?
