I consider myself, in NO way an authority on high end professional video editing specs, but I DO know a hell of a lot about high end Gaming PCs. That's because I have built myself a 'state of the art' gaming PC in the past.
How I learnt about them, was mostly from the 'Linus Tech Tips' channel. Now I present to you 2 videos, approx a year old, relating to your editing build.
First video below is him building his 'no expense spared rig' piece by piece, and explaining his reasons and logic behind each component as he goes... I also add a second video, again, approx a year old, which discusses him upgrading from a 16 to 32 thread 'ThreadRipper' and his reasons for doing so...
I suggest watching these videos, or at least skipping through them. I've always found Linus to be very easy to understand, and that's basically what I did when it came to my gaming PC. I wanted the absolute best, but not the most absolutely expensive just for the sake of it. So I extrapolated the relevant info from Linus, found myself aware of some pitfalls and fallacies, and ended up with a machine that still works as well today as in 2019 when I built it, and can still give the latest games a good kicking at max settings
So I say listen to Linus. He's a GREAT starting point
