Hey guys,
I've been out of the computer scene for quite some time. Been looking around to build a desktop capable of the following:
-Video Editing 1080/60p and occasionally 4K footages -Software I mainly use Premier Pro
This PC sole purpose is to edit videos. Nothing more than that.
What's the combo these days? AMD + Radeon?

With premier you need big RAM, may be 32GB DDR4, I feel average amd ryzen3 with PCie4.0 SSD & AMD 5700 gpu already good enough. My old system upgrade to 32GB RAM & fast m.2 SSD running smooth for video editing.

I'm going to assume that you're paying for Premiere Pro and not pirating. There's a nice webpage on the adobe website that shows specifically what CPU/RAM combination is recommended (AMD is generally faster these days) and more importantly what GPU is supported for hardware rendering. Very few Radeons are supported comparatively
For storage look at the bitrate of your video recording. Don't forget offline storage for backups

More CPU cores, more ram, high speed m2 drive with fast ironwolf hdd Well maybe not ironwolf drives but they definitely benefit 4k editing
you can skimp out on graphics card with a cheapo display card for start but if you ever trying to run after effects simultaneously you'll definitely need good ones starting from GTX1660Ti or higher.

If I were to build today at 4k budget, I would go for 800-900 Ryzen 3600x (wait for few more weeks, the price of some ryzen have dropped in US, will be reflected some time later) 800 32GB ram (better 2x16, for future expansion, add another 50-100 if u want the RGB ones) 600-650 any used GTX 1060 (gpu really doesn't help on rendering, unless u're an occasional gamer, then consider GTX 1070 or above). 450-550 B450 mb (dun go for B450m with 2 slots unless u're sure no need for ram upgrade in the 1-2 yr future) You could get the rest power supply, casing, nvme, ssd, etc within 1.5k, it's not that essential for video rendering.

After second thought, the rig above is way beyond 4k, maybe 4.5-5k.
I would modify some parts, Ryzen 5 3600, now trading at around RM760 at shopee, but like said, in few more weeks, it could drop below RM720? Maybe a RM250 B450M mb, B550 is coming out in June but there's no real difference in specs unless u're wanting a more future-proof for cpu or gpu upgrading which could provide PCIe 4.0 support?
Again, if it's not in urgent need, wait for few more weeks, I'm predicting the price of 2019 ryzen and used gpu will shatter in a small scale.
