Get a SSD at least for the OS.

Looks good from what I can tell, I'm still pretty new to this as well. I hope it goes well and look also when it's fully built. What kind of computer monitor are you gonna use?

Spend 100$ on the case and put the money towards more cores or more ram to improve your editing capability.

Spending 20% of your budget on a case is a huge mistake.

There's no reason to buy a 9XXX CPU especially when they are discontinued. This would be a way better use of $1500 IMO:

Plus with B550, you will be able to upgrade to 4th and 5th gen Ryzen CPUs, and you will also be able to take full advantage of PCI-E 4.0 speeds for 4th gen NVMe drives. You do not want a slow 2TB hard drive as your primary OS drive in this day and age.

so I was wondering what do you look for when purchasing a case then. Sorry for the noob question.
