This is for medical blurbs - think 5-15 min talks about some medical something or other related to urology.

Then it does not matter really.
Any current generation good video card and CPU will do what you need for years to come.

Well, then I need a recommendation on a 'good video card'
I'm assuming onboard video likely isn't going to really cut it.

Oh - it also must be a Windows 10 box.
The Adobe bit pretty much guaranteed that.

Anyone know if AMD Ryzen CPUs would be better for video processing than Intel?
AMD64 is AMD64 for the most part. What matters is price/performance. So yes, AMD is pretty much always better.

My main question is the video card.
Get the one that Adobe recommends.

Nah, Adobe has clients for Apple, and if Adobe's software wasn't a requirement there are quite a few amazing open source options.

It feels like an odd combination of 4K, home video software and professional equipment.
There are many questions that need to be answered. For starters what camera is going to be used. It's a big deal because it can determine if and how premier elements can handle it. It also determines storage needs and cpu/gpu needs.
You also need to think about audio. A video editing rig needs decent monitors (aka speakers).
I would call someone like B&H who sells pro video (and not so pro) to see help you out.

I have built a few of these over the years, but it has been a while. The video card is important, but only if they are rendering 3d or using something like After Effects. The biggest area you want to max out on is a Nice motherboard, a good processor, then 100% Max out every bit of RAM you can put in that board. This is because when you edit video, it is in RAM. Then to render it has to process everything you want done at 4K. The Processor L2 cache, buss speed, and RAM speed and amount are always the bottleneck.
Many of the Video editing machines I built back in the 2010ish times would use the intel onboard video, a 2nd PCI cheap video card I found for free for a 2nd monitor, then spend over 1/2 my build budget on really nice RAM and a motherboard. This may have changed a little going from 1080p to 4K.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Professional-Video/ci/3755/N/4294545851B&H is an excellent resource for advice on a build like this, but they are definitely not the low price place to buy anything. Shop around after you have a good idea what components you'll be using.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Professional-Video/ci/3755/N/4294545851Oh, don't get me started - First question I asked is - why do you have 4K monitors at home? oh because you just want a pretty picture - err.. OK.. seems like a good reason to spend $1200 on a 27" monitor.

Well if yo uare doing video editing, it's pretty normal.
And we've had a 4K laptops for many years now. 4K is very normal.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Professional-Video/ci/3755/N/4294545851The budget set for this is $600 * 2 for the monitors (because he wants the same as before) and $1000 for a PC. The camera will be more, but yeah, who knows.
This whole thing is just a nightmare.
There is NO CHANCE IN HELL he'll pay to hire some company to put a system together for this. He's already paying my salary - so my time is the most he's willing to spend.

LOL - there will be no back of this. the videos will be made - posted to some website or Youtube and deleted. There is no long term planning on this.
