at crossroads for new hackintosh build - advice?

hi folks,

I've been using my trusty hackintosh for a while to do video editing. i7-3930k + GTX 980 + GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI (32GB DDR3 RAM). I noticed that HEVC material tends to lag a little bit, and i assume its because my hardware requirements aren't compatible for HEVC.

I've been thinking about a new build, and was initially thinking about a 7th or 8th generation CPU paired with a GTX 1080. I know that Mojave doesn't have Nvidia web drivers, and its currently unknown when they will release them.

Should i just do an x99 build with a 7th/8th gen Intel CPU and an AMD graphics card? I do play video games and would like something that is good for editing and video gaming. Thoughts?
