I mean pretty much anything can technicly be done without a GPU, but that's not always the optimal way to procede.

 

Given that there are a lot of Effects in After Effects and Premiere Pro that make use of a GPU, I think it's pretty safe to say that those would benefit a lot from having a dedicated GPU.

 

Now even though I've never tested these things without a GPU in my system, I imagine they wouldn't be very pleasent to work with only using integrated graphics.

 

But in any case you can always try it out with your list of components and add in an additional GPU later if you aren't satisfied with the result.

better keep the GPU. Premiere now works better with iGPU than GPU, but then there are always workloads that the iGPU cant do/can't do as well. No one can predict the future.

ryzen 5 2600x > i5-8400 (unless your software is better much optimized for intel)

Yh people say that premiere pro is better with Intel, otherwise I'd obviously go ryzen for the cores and threads, thx @minervx
