Soon, Ryzen Threadripper will be coming out. The $999 model, the 1950X has 16 cores 32 threads and will defeat the 6950x.

Building computers for my employees. 3 4k monitors/pc. If I were to use office and watching videos on the other screen while exporting 4k H.264. Will 6950x performance be affected? Or am I better off with xeon?

6950x will perform better unless you have a high core count Xeon from the same generation 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I got no problem choosing GPUs and stuff. I know 6950x will perform better when exporting 4k. But I'm very confused if the performance will drop if i open up other applications on the other screen. If I use xeon the closest comparison to 6950x side by side is E5-2687W v4 3.0Ghz 12 cores. But I've no idea how does it compare with 6950x when exporting 4k

Ryzen 7 1700 is good enough. Exporting 4k with H.264 is hard on the hardware, but doing office work or watching video (modern GPUs can decode that) aren't.

My employees edit red 8k and export 4k. Replies 3000+ email/day. Play games and watch youtube videos as well.

Chrome/Office don't actually use GPU much. More RAM or some CPU. which is why I ask.

It will by a tiny bit, the Xeon will outperform the 6950x (the one you linked) while dropping less frames with stuff in the background 

 

even with my 3770k, exporting while doing chrome and exporting without I'm only losing something along 30 seconds

Saw the benchmark. $999/cpu.
