If you can afford it, the 5950x is basically as good as it gets before you're into thread ripper territory, so should see you sorted for a while. I'm surprised the whole build is that cheap in honesty - I think I paid around 5k for mine in parts - I know my 3090 was around 2k alone so I guess that's where most of it went.

Premiere + bits of After effects. Though just had to do some hi-res print stuff in Photoshop and computer was even struggling with that. Video is all social media type stuff, nothing at all high end, so my needs sound very different to yours, but I get all sorts of source material & then tend to plaster effects on it/add motion graphics, etc.
Current computer just gets very slow + some effects don't seem to work at all. It's got to the point where I just work round it and avoid things that I know will take ages , but I feel this is preventing me learning/doing new things, which can't be healthy. I recently had a project where I started doing some fairly basic After Effects 3d and by the end of it I was basically having to work blind because I couldn't preview anything.
t does seem like that Alienware might be a good bet, but I don't really understand enough about processors nowadays, so that's helpful.
