superflower produce some of the best psu's out there @vodka29

ryzen will give you more cores for less money which will be an advantage in video encoding. (close to the 6950x for half the money if you go with an 1800x)
in gaming you will loose out slightly due to lack of optimisation for the new platform in most games currently available.

1080/ti will make little to no difference in video encoding as that done from the cpu with most current software. so you could if you want reduce the budget on the gpu a bit and put the saving into a higher end cpu. although you will reach a point where your paying way more for not much more performance if you go intel. ryzen on the other hand seems to scale almost linearly.

Ryzen is your best bet, and maybe you can OC a little for more power. I have never heard of that PSU, so it may be low quality, but then again, I haven't heard of it. Im not amazing with computers, so don't take me literally until other people respond with similar things. I don't even know if i'm right.
EDIT: Def. go with Ryzen, but, you never said your budget. Please let us know what it is so we know how to optimize this build, and what to keep and what to change.

how serious are you about video editing? an enthusiast? or budding pro?
coz enthusiast. i would say 1800x 16-32 gig. 2400-3200mhz
with any gaming 8gig 480/1060 or better
for a editing/gaming rig

if your a budding pro then a 8+ core xeon with 64-128gig with any 2gig or better gpu. maybe a way to go.
budgeting maybe half to 2/3rds for the cpu and ram and the rest on motherboard/case/storage/psu/gpu
video editing workstations dont need massive gpus so anything that can handle 4k output will do.

honestly though its absolutely the wrong time to be building a high end intel build as there in the start of a release cycle. with what appear to be some very over priced cpus when you look at ryzens performance.
