Hey guys! Looking for some opinions on a new build im trying to piece to build.

This build will be mainly video editing oriented and i will be using adobe products (mainly premiere) for my work. I will be using it to run some pretty intensive games as well.

The question is, should i be focusing mainly on the CPU or the GPU in terms of how much money i spend. For instance, because im going to be utilizing CUDA in premiere, would it be more beneficial to have say a 980ti/1080 in the build and just go with an I5 for the CPU? or the other way around and get a lesser GPU like a 970/1070with an I7?

I recommend going with a 1070 with an i7. I have an i7-4790k and an MSI 1070 Gaming X and it is amazing! I would recommend using the i7 because you can enable hyperthreading, but hyperthreading doesn't exist on i5's. Hyperthreading helps with rendering and other work.
