Rather a technical question than need for actual help. Gaming-Streaming-Editing Station.
Alright so, I had in mind in the near future to go ahead and build a new rig, if things goes well. I had in mind a combo of 13700k, 4080 and 64GB of DDR5, and running at 4K res. However, I am not quite sure to what extends the PC will be able to handle demanding apps like the Adobe Suite. And how much productivity I 'll be getting out of it. I am aware that as far as gaming-streaming goes, it will be fine, for the most part. Would it be a good idea to stick with the 13700k or invest a bit more and hit a 13900k? More from an editing point of view. I tend to use a lot of VFX on my stuff and aesthetics, just a hint. Thanks guys.

A higher end CPU can help with performance mostly for exporting and less so for editing, but you should be fine with a 13700K.
Some main things you should do to improve the performance for editing and exporting in Premiere are:
- Use proxies: you can set them to a lower resolution / quality than your source footage. Typically something like ProRes, CineForm, or DNxHD/DNxHR are good, but you can leverage your GPU for decoding the proxies if you create proxies in H.264, H.265, or AV1
- Have separate drives for your source footage / proxies, media cache, and export. Ideally each of those drives should be an SSD (NVMe is better than SATA), and you would want to make sure that none of them are also the C drive where Windows is installed
- Nest pieces in your timeline into a single sequence and pre-render them. Basically, if you have a sequence that you've finished working on, you can pre-render it and prevent your system from re-rendering it in case you change things around in the timeline
- Pre-render the entire timeline before exporting, and when exporting make sure to select "Use previews". Normally Premiere will render and then export frames in sequence, but if you pre-render the whole timeline then it will spend less time witching between tasks and just focus on exporting. Doing a pre-render + export with previews should take less time than if you did a regular export

Stop letting Premiere & Resolve Crashes RUIN your life!
It can be easy to get stuck firing off the same renders over and over, hoping it won't crash - but you might find it's a lot easier to just fix the specific cause of that crash and save yourself HOURS of work. Here's how.

PREMIERE PRO OPTIMIZATION GUIDE - Top 10 Tips How to Optimize Adobe...
Adobe Premiere Pro is a beast of a program - both in terms of what it's capable of and the learning curve. Even long-time users wind up not taking the time to learn how to fully optimize it and get the most out of the software. Here's my top 10 tips to optimize Premiere Pro. Think of this as a guide to getting Premiere working best on your machi...
Same principles applies for After Effects too?
Mostly yeah
As far as CPU and GPU
So I guess the build I have in mind shall do fine, yes?
I am debating the extra 500$ for a 4090, but if it is an overkill, I could use them on a mirror less for instance
and the extra 200$ of a 13900k for a better mic or a stream deck
AE baseline is more CPU/RAM dependent than anything
but most plugins/external rendering engines will leverage GPU
used 3090s are an incredible value atm
When you say external rendering engines?
Like Adobe Media?
no like
the Cinema4D integrations, Octane, etc.
Oh!
yes
I use Cinema 4D on AE for the ray trace
The reason why I am researching the matter in great depth is because I had my journey for almost 5 years now. I learned a few things here and there, so since there is a possibility for a total upgrade on everything, I wanna do it the right way this time.
Since we are talking about a 5 years futureproof gearing
Ty very much for the advices guys. There is one more thing I wish to ask.
You can just ask it
Does retroreflective tech worths it as an alternative to the traditional green screen?
