ryzen amd Editing and content creation CPU

[NewBieDavid]

So I'm building an Editing/gaming pc soon around 700$ budget , it may change by the time i build but I'm not sure

I'm looking forward to studying graphic design in the next few years and i thought i can start learning from now .

So , All the editing PC's i see online are packing best of the best CPU's 

And I'm wondering : How low can you go on CPU ?
One of my friends edited videos on very old laptop which kinda got me thinking..
Now of course I don't want to go cheap on my Build and i want the best for my Budget  

So I'm getting 16 gb Corsair LPX

Would the Ryzen 1600 be enough for learning Video editing ? (I know My way around gaming Builds but i never touched on editing)

I'm gonna be pairing it with an Rx 570 or a gtx 1050ti (depending on the budget left)
It got me wondering because I have seen people online saying you need a Core i7 if you want things to go smooth. Which is something i doubt..

1600 is a 5820k/6800k equivalent, yes.

How about getting an i5 7500 ? 
it would save me money on the motherboard and RAM

i5s are not worth getting anymore especially for video editing.

Ok i kinda got my answer already but while I'm at it i shall just ask :
The Rx 570 here in germany is 200 bucks which is very close to the 1060 3gb and there is this brand called KF2A that has the 3gb version for 190 which is 10 bucks cheaper.

But i heared the 3gb of ram kinda Mess the gpu up in some games what do you think i should go for ?

it will depend on your program, i would get a 1050ti if you are just using your pc for editing, for gaming and editing a rx480 or 470 would be better.
