I've been tasked with putting a system together for a 4K video editing rig.
First requirement - must use 4K U2720Q Dell monitors.
Needs to run Adobe Premiere Elements 2020
Suggestions?
I haven't looked into video editing builds, ever, so other than just loosing two weeks to research, I'm looking for suggestions.
Oh - it also must be a Windows 10 box.
My main question is the video card.
Anyone know if AMD Ryzen CPUs would be better for video processing than Intel?

I have no idea really but one thing that springs to mind is what sort of Video editing.
Is it going to be simple cut videos and merge them together with some fade in and outs and star wash effects
or are we talking full on Colour correction/cropping out/Special Effects etc.As i think what they want to do will send you down the correct GPU path.

This is for medical blurbs - think 5-15 min talks about some medical something or other related to urology.

Then it does not matter really.
Any current generation good video card and CPU will do what you need for years to come.

Well, then I need a recommendation on a 'good video card'
I'm assuming onboard video likely isn't going to really cut it.

The Adobe bit pretty much guaranteed that.

AMD64 is AMD64 for the most part. What matters is price/performance. So yes, AMD is pretty much always better.

Nah, Adobe has clients for Apple, and if Adobe's software wasn't a requirement there are quite a few amazing open source options.

It feels like an odd combination of 4K, home video software and professional equipment.
There are many questions that need to be answered. For starters what camera is going to be used. It's a big deal because it can determine if and how premier elements can handle it. It also determines storage needs and cpu/gpu needs.
You also need to think about audio. A video editing rig needs decent monitors (aka speakers).
I would call someone like B&H who sells pro video (and not so pro) to see help you out.

I have built a few of these over the years, but it has been a while. The video card is important, but only if they are rendering 3d or using something like After Effects. The biggest area you want to max out on is a Nice motherboard, a good processor, then 100% Max out every bit of RAM you can put in that board. This is because when you edit video, it is in RAM. Then to render it has to process everything you want done at 4K. The Processor L2 cache, buss speed, and RAM speed and amount are always the bottleneck.
Many of the Video editing machines I built back in the 2010ish times would use the intel onboard video, a 2nd PCI cheap video card I found for free for a 2nd monitor, then spend over 1/2 my build budget on really nice RAM and a motherboard. This may have changed a little going from 1080p to 4K.

Well if yo uare doing video editing, it's pretty normal.
And we've had a 4K laptops for many years now. 4K is very normal.
