That will be fine, any of the lastest gen AMDs and some good ram, you are good to go.

If you will be editing in premiere or after effects, an Nvidia GPU with Cuda cores is still better utilized for editing than other solutions because of the native support for that technology.
Also, the more CPU cores you have at high clock speeds the better, for rendering.
Ram capacity and storage speed are also important. The more ram you have the larger/more complex projects concerning after-effects you can work with, premiere has small demands in that regard, but min 16GB of ram... I use 64GB and that is plenty. An optane drive works really great to render to provided my project files are on another drive with fast read access. If you keep project files on a drive and render to that same drive you'll be shooting yourself in the foot basically, always use separate drives for working from and rendering to... assuming you don't already have a bottleneck for data. I use an NVME for holding the project files and optane to render to. Finally, for long-term storage of both captured/record video files and rendered video files, I just use traditional hard drives as the data capacity for the price is really good and I have special containers I store them in. I have a couple of hot-swap docks, USB 3.0 I pop them in when I need to access old data/files/video/etc. I also use a network raid for storing my stock video library and stock after effects library. I hope that helps.

The more cores/threads into a processor the best multitasking performance in video editing. Example: An AMD 3700x (8 cores- 16 threads) is better for video editing and cheaper than a 5600x (6cores-12 threads).

Adjust your processor core count properly to your wallet capacity on your selected store.

Amd Ryzen 5 5600x processor is mainly oriented for gamers due IPC improvements over core count.
