Everyone else seems to be recommending going with Intel because it's apparently the gold standard in transcoding. But you don't have any problems with yours and being an amd?
I have not had any problems on my end. I do know that for encoding, there are some quality issues with AMF when comparing it against Nvidia and Intel at equivalent bitrates that was only resolved with the latest 90xx series, but for Jellyfin purposes it works perfectly fine.
I prefer AMD over Intel because for 3D acceleration, AMD wins hands down. I also like AMD CPUs over the absolute power-hungry heaters that are Intel CPUs because it allows me to use lower profile coolers and cheaper PSUs.
The thing is that even quite old Intel CPUs have good transcoding support with Jellyfin. For people buying used desktops is great. AMDs are a more recent development. Since you're building everything brand new, take your pick. With AMD you could run some light ROCm workloads.
