Consider purchasing either the Amd Ryzen 7 3700X or the Core i7 10700, as their prices are nearly identical.

Choose the Ryzen processor, keep in mind the better motherboard, yet the Ryzen chipset significantly outperforms the Intel option.

Consider the cost gap and evaluate if the B550 TOMAHAWK offers better value compared to the B550 A-PRO.

I’ll be working with games but mostly editing Adobe Premiere Pro videos. They say QuickSync works well on a Core i7 10700, which keeps the timeline smooth. I used a Ryzen 5 2600 and the timeline got stuck in a low-resolution project—only 720p, not 1080p.

The Ryzen 7 3700X shines more when it comes to movie rendering. When comparing motherboards, the Ryzen 7 3700X offers distinct advantages over the Core i7 10700 in that specific area.

B550 Tommahawk with PCIe Gen 4, comparable quality VRM, and similar upgrade potential

$12 is acceptable. Usually prices are above $30, but either unit works nicely (Rainbow Duck 2020 supports R9 3900X on the A-Pro board)

It's beneficial, though paying too much for the $12 board would make them identical.
