adobe suite.

nVidia usually's better at hardware acceleration on Adobe, same thing with Intel being a lot better at gaming and Adobe suite...

 

With that being said since you're spending high money either ways to overclock the Ryzen 5, why not get a locked i7 8700 on a b360 instead, you'll still get better performance for the same price if not actually cheaper since no expensive mobo and cooling.

 

And I'd try pushing GPU to a GTX 1070 so you don't feel limited at 144hz.

if i where you for editing you would be better of going with 1st gen ryzen 7 1700x, its cheaper than the 2600 and has more cores and threads which helps alot with editing.
and if you would do that go with the asus x370 pro motherboard its better and cheaper and has more features.

 

i was making the same choice and i ended up going for the 1700x since it was cheaper and had more cores which significantly reduces render times.
and i noticed that the asus x370 pro board is usually alot cheaper and better packed than b350 of b450 boards.

alright thanks, also do you know of any mobo that would have wireless networking built in

also would a i5 work or would it be best to just go i7

i run a r7 1700x with a gtx 1070ti and it games great, high fps no lagg no stutters no bottleneck so it games great.
the 2600 will game slightly faster but that wasnt worth it for me seeing the extra cores and threads the 1700x offers.
oh and with slightly faster i mean around a 5 to 8 fps difference

The 1700/x and 1070ti would be a better combo and like @Martijn Klerks said, will get better frames (more than 5-8 fps) and you will have better multi-core performance for editing/productivity
