Cpu build advice

So planning to build a PC for my friends sister and her main use is going to be for 4k photo and video editing and wanted to know if the Intel UHD Graphics 630 from a I7-8700K or none K be enough to do what she wants or will i still need to get a decent gtx 1060 for it? If needing a gpu be the case would a ryzen build be better for it? Her budget is less than $1000

I usually build gaming pcs but this will be my 1st time building one for mainly video/photo 4k editing.

1000 dollars is simply not enough for good 4k video editing build, 4gb vram is required for that and 32 gb ram is a must. NVME SSD is also a must, otherwise too slow. Can she add more to the budget? More cores are desirable too.

What would the price range be for optimal performance for it?

Ideally, threadripper CPU, x399 motherboard, 64 gb ram, 1 tb nvme ssd, gtx 1070+, those are already 3000 bucks. 4k video editing is not cheap. My compromised version can do but way slower than ideal build. I can rearrange based on max budget she can have.

Good guide for both of you to read: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/guides/workstation-adobe-4k-guide.pdf

cool waiting for her reply to see if she can increase her budget but if not, then i think what you got for me might be the next best step. Thank you
