Why don't u choose ryzen 7 2700k instead of i7 8700k for 4k editing?
8 core 16 thread is more future proof than 6 core 12 threads from my opinion.

I don't have that much experience with Amd Cpu's, and the benchmarks i looked in to while doing som research it didn't seem to be the biggest different between them. I also had a Corsair Hydro Series H75 mounted on my old cpu, so it would be easy to just move this over to the new motherboard instead for getting a new aftermarket cooler. But i agree with you that it might be more future proof with 8 core and 16 thread.
And depending on his software, more GHz may offset more cores. I know this was true with my Ligthwave 3D package, where I had two servers rendering HD animations, one was setup with an i7-960 and the other had two Xeon processors for a total of 8 cores. I had the i7 OC'd to 4.6GHz and that offset the performance by the Xeon amount of cores by a 2 minute quicker rendering. i7s are great performance chips and much cheaper than Xeons, but nowadays there are soo many options with even relatively old chips, you can build yourself a monster multi-core xeon or Opteron server for little money.
Good write up btw.
