Which new cpu processor for encoding and decoding video.?

Hi guys, I've currently got a i7 7700k and 8 gb ram with a nvidia titan x maxwell card......
I don't game any more as circumstances have changed however, I'm finding myself wanting a more powerful processor to decode and encode my blu rays and 4k to h.265 and h.
264..... With my processor h.265 decodes extremely slow and the titan x graphics card.... Doesn't support h.265 decoding..... I can't see any point in buying a top end graphics card like the 3000 series, I've not looked much at hardware for a few years so I'm a little out of it..... Which processor would you recommend?
Amd or Intel with their quicksync..... My i7 supports quicksync but doesn't support all decodes and encodes... I've heard a bit about how good the amd chips are....... Any suggestions.?
Thanks in advance

I'm prepared to probably spend around £1000 on a cpu by the way.... I'll plan the motherboard and ram around cpu.!

Would a 5950x be comparable speed wise with Intel quick sync or nvidia rtx3070 series say.? I want quality but also don't want to wait forever for it to encode on a 4k blu ray like my old i7.!

Well I've got a lot to compress so don't want to take a lifetime lol but i was kind of hoping that a processor can perform just as good as i don't game anymore.! I have done some encodes from blu ray to h. 264 with my titan x and am quite happy with the quality.....but I'm not encoding 4k for 12 hours with my i7 it's ridiculous.!.... If graphics card is the way to go ill go that way.!
But i suppose a 5950x with 16 threads will be a lot quicker than my old i7

Thanks guys for the info, I'll be getting a nvidia 3070 when I can get my hands on one !
