Complete Newb building a PC for fanres work

Well, an octa core Ryzen seems the best bang for the bucks today, but if you can find an used PC, grab one with a good Intel i7; if you will use avisynth, a quad core would be more than enough - the 4790k is great IMHO, even if quite old is still good nowadays - while more cores should give you an advantage with x264/x265 encoding.

Logical Increments - How to Build the Best PC for Video Editing

"This might sound counter-intuitive, but the graphics card (AKA video card) is a less important component when it comes to video editing and other creative work with most software. Compared to the CPU, it’s usually OK to go a little cheaper with your graphics card. The exception to this rule is editing with DaVinci Resolve. If you plan to edit with Resolve, you absolutely need a powerful graphics card, as that software is powered primarily by GPU instead of CPU."
