A core i5 4690k is a great video rendering CPU for a budget rig. It has a solid clock speed, and will not bottleneck anything else.

16 GB of ram is usually enough for rigs in this range.

If you use adobe cs, a gtx 970 or 960 will be good for cuda acceleration.

Well you want a lot of CPU cores. AMD has many cores, but they are weak cores compared to Intel.

 

I'm sure you don't want a loud work environment, so the stock cooler just wont do, as it is loud.

 

You need a lot of Memory, 16GB should do it.

 

You are going to want to put those programs on an SSD so they load fast and preform very smoothly. You will also need bulk storage for everything that gets saved.

 

Having a GPU can help, but might not be necessary depending on the programs you use. I added one just in case.

 

Simple effective case.

 

Reliable power supply.
