Hi, I'm trying to build a PC for the first time as a workstation. I don't do any gaming at all, but use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premier Pro, and After Affects heavily, primarily for 4k video editing. This is a build I made with some research and was looking to get some feedback. I believe NVIDIA cards are better for this type of work because of the CUDA cores and I was hoping to OC the Ryzen 5 1600 because of how easy it seems to be. Thanks!
