Decided to cancel the Ryzen build and went with a 10400F instead. Thanks @YT_DomDaBomb20 for your advice!

If you're new to video editing, and you want a free program, DaVinci Resolve is amazing, and seriously stable. Besides It is entirely free and there are tutorials for pretty much anything. If you want the paid version for whatever reason, it's going to be cheaper than premiere by a lot. Even more so when you take into consideration After Effects and Audition, and compare them to Fusion and Fairlight. Between Resolve and HitFilm Express, I find Express to be easier to use If you have no previous knowledge or just basic knowledge, but DR has so many features that I rather use that instead of Hitfilm (add-ons are seriously good if you don't want to spend a lot of money tho). Ultimately, I would suggest to get Creative Cloud (not just premiere) if you are actually serious about editing.

@YT_DomDaBomb20 Good idea! I'm seriously thinking about it. What do you think about this mobo? Asrock H410M-HVS 1200 Also, if I go with that build should I drop Hyperx's DDR4-3200 CL16 x2 and go for a THERMALTAKE H-ONE GAMING DDR4 3000 CL16 x2 instead?

Budget (including currency): 600-650 USD. American USD. Country: Uruguay Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Creative Cloud, CSP EX, Blender, UE, 3D Animation Software - Gaming: GTA 5, Monster Hunter, DOOM E. Other details: Thank you for helping me! .. and also, sorry if this ends up being a lengthy post. So my secondary system is seriously starting to show its age (used to be a mid-range pc five years ago, now it's just old) that's why I decided to upgrade. This is the first time that I'm building a pc myself, usually, I'd ask a friend for help but this time I wanted to build one myself...and then I realized that I probably screwed up, and should cancel my purchase before Monday. What's is this pc for: Expect it's usage to be something like: Because of this, I figured that a Ryzen 5 3600 should suffice, nice benchmarks, nice reviews, every tech reviewer channel recommends it if you are on a budget. Besides, I didn't want to spend too much money on my new processor, since Ryzen 7 is way too expensive where I live, and at that point, I rather get a Ryzen 9 instead. Which defeats the purpose of this build, since I already have a beefy computer for doing everything this system can't. With that in mind, my budget at the moment is 600 USD (American USD). If it's an important component I can push it to 650. So what am I buying? What are my options?: Reusing from previous build: So what's the problem? The more I read and research about the 3600 (especially those with similar motherboards, or MSI mobos, or Asus..)the more I find that it's unstable, XMP issues, driver issues, bios issues, prone to BSODs, or not booting at all, or that the system decides to reset randomly while on idle. Is this normal? Is that what I should expect from getting a 3600? I'm asking this unironically, I need a rock-solid system, I can't afford to lose 5hs of work because the system decided to reset on a whim, or spend X amount of time troubleshooting when I should be working. Of course, I realize that this is a rather new architecture, they probably have to iron out most of the bugs yet, however it is scary to read people asking for help on several-month-old threads, with no solution at all. So... What should I do? I seriously want to give AMD a chance. Is it safe to get a Ryzen 5 3600 or am I better off with an i5-10400/f (durability and stability wise)? I'm planning on not upgrading for at least 3 years after building this computer, so I'm concerned about its durability as well. If I can avoid a dead mobo within a year, that'd be great. If someone with experience can point me in the right direction here I would seriously appreciate it. Edit: Typo.
