Prioritizing CPU vs GPU for video editing with FCPX ???

I'm planning on a hackintosh build. I keep my systems for a long time, so my current hack is pushing 4+ years old. Stability and Longevity is a goal. My needs are for video editing with Final Cut Pro X, as well as regular daily desktop use. (I edit 10-15minute videos for youtube weekly, I do NOT do 4K) My current system is an i5-4690 with a Sapphire Pulse RX560 (4GB).

So as I've been doing my reading here, I came across a few comments threads that stated that Final Cut uses CPU more than the GPU. Specifically, FCPX would benefit from more cores/threads in the CPU. Is that so?

So would I be better off with a core i7-9700k paired with a more modest RX580 card versus a core i5-9600k paired with a RX5700 (Or even Radeon Vega 56 or Vega 64) ???

thanks
