2019 base model iMac or Hackintosh ?

My coworker is selling a 2019 base model iMac 27 inch for $1400. The current price here at Apple in California is just under $2000 with taxes included. He gave me until Sunday to decide if I want it or he would sell it to another coworker of mine.

I do video editing 1080 video and graphics as a side job (final cut is what I’m using but want move into 4K editing) I’ve been using a 2014 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.

Should I just bite the bullet and buy the 27 inch iMac off my coworker ? Or should build a dual boot windows 10/Hackintosh ?

The last time I built a pc or was about 10 years ago so I don’t really know what’s the best of the best stuff at the moment. I don’t think I should have problem figuring stuff out after looking at the guides. Is the AMD route easier than intel ?

My budget is $2000 including a monitor ( Already have a keyboard, mouse and speakers) If someone wants to build a list parts i would really appreciate it. Thanks !
