My vids do occasionally include After Effects and color correcting (on 4k, that can take a lot of processing power), I
am unfamiliar with your software. I would first look into seeing how the software detects the players and apply the labels. This is probably CPU intensive, but a modern program may utilize the GPU for this task. This will tell you if you need to spend the bulk of your budget on the GPU or CPU.

The next thing is playback when you are in the editing phase, that could be either CPU or GPU depending on the software. My linked $280 video card should be able to handle any real-time playback editing while on the time-line.

And finally the final encoding so you can finish your processed video. That *should* be GPU intensive. You'll also need to see how much RAM the program likes to use.

Too many people overspend on RAM capacity (ignoring RAM speed) and burn up their budget and have RAM they never use. I like to get the minimum amount of RAM at the fastest RAM speed my motherboard can handle which frees up the budget to apply towards maximizing your CPU and motherboard.

In short, RAM is overrated.

If your program is read/write intensive, buying a good high-capacity and high-speed .M2 storage drive is every bit as important as RAM/CPU/GPU, and it's often overlooked when building your computer.
