Hi
I've updated the PC guide page with new CPU information if anyones interested or wants to help update the rest of the page.
Let me know if i got anything wrong and it needs to be updated.

Thanks Op. Could you suggest a setup for a PC that can encode (using premier pro) from 4k source files to 1080p youtube format without slowing down to a crawl? I am currently using the i5 6500 with 16GB of ram and it takes forever.
Wow the Ryzens really are the best bang for buck for productivity software stuff.
Which Ryzens should i be looking at? I checked the Ryzen threadripper cpu prices they are all more costly than i9?
@jeeg: Ryzen 2700x is $479
Core I9 9900K is $820
Core i9 is 12% better so Ryzen 2700X would be your best bet i would also get a extra 16gb ram and make sure you've got some nvme storage for scrubbing of footage
@jeeg: I personally think the 2700X is best value but whatever your budget decides you can go higher if you have such a high budget for just cpu and motherboard.
@AlienC: Thanks. If I can achieve pretty much the same thing with a cheaper CPU/mobo, then that would be the preferred route.
Thanks mate.
I'm not too knowledgeable about Premiere Pro but a good CPU (Ryzen 7, i7/i9, threadripper), 16/32GB ram, NVME ssd, large HDD should do the trick if budget allows.
My motto for pc parts is unless I absolutely hundred percent know I will fully utilize the power of the future parts aim lower and upgrade later as needed from there especially if you are unsure of the real world performance aka not copying a friend or colleague's exact same setup that has real life exact benchmarks that you will be using.
Unless it is income making and will pay for itself over a few months then always go with the conservative difference.
This looks promising

Sorry I am really bad with formatting tables this was copy pasted from pcpartpicker.
I would go for this instead https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4wXBhy
AM4 is good for upgradability and the ASUS mobo has 4 ram slots and m.2 also i think ASUS's Bios is best.
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor ($255.00 @ Shopping Express)
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B450M-A Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($122.00 @ Umart)
Total: $377.00
Yeah that kills my one go for that most definitely.
any system will slow to a crawl when encoding however the better the system the lower the amount of time it will for editing allways go for the best in your budget for cpu, SSD, ram. You could only allocate so many cores to rendering so the PC is usable for other taks will rendering but this will increase rendering times its all a balance.
@User2049: True that I think you have got all the knowledge and information you need so my services and input is not required anymore as I am I think for the moment below your "pay grade" haha lol so to speak :)
I hope you make the system that is right and perfect for you :)
