First time building a gaming pc (help)

Solution
For Premiere Pro, you'll want more cores. For AfterEffects, the GPU's great.

Also, you don't need a heatsink for an SSD. Those are cool enough.

Intel's not doing themselves favors if they give a lack of core count to the customers. They're just screwing themselves over.

Mostly gaming and some video editing. About the cooler, I don't have enough for the full-blown loop and I can't set it up myself. The air cooler is way too heavy for me and it won't look good inside the case. Anyway, I'm really appreciate your answer. Do you have any recommendation for me?

Premiere Pro and After Effects. Can you link me that power supply? I would like to look at it. Also, is there a difference between a fanless and a fan psu?

I'm not an Intel fanboy but for some reasons I still prefer Intel. Thank you for your recommendation. I'm really appreciated.

I don't really know. Maybe because I see it on the internet more and barely see AMD.
