Reviewing your first post, I suppose you could reuse your PSU and save a bunch. It is only bronze which is below what I'd use, but ok. The difference between bronze and gold efficiency is only 5%, but do remember thats 5% of your used watts being wasted; using 200w gaming for an hour? That's 10 down the drain more than gold.
Your hdd/ssd you could use for storage/os and save even more. 250gb is still enough for a windows install and essential speedy programs. Editing files with a fast PC on a slow HDD on the other hand could bottleneck. I don't know exactly how resource hungry lightroom is, but ssd can shave time off almost anything, how much will depend on what you are specifically doing.
Your case, maybe cooler with a adapter bracket, would fit the new mobo, its the same size as your current. (As long as the case is called ATX, midi case, full tower it'll fit all 3 sizes of consumer boards)
It really does depend how much time you'll spend gaming vs working/editing. with Ryzens gains over AMD's older cpu, and Intel not bringing anything
much better in the last couple gen, you could simplify the choice down to between intel edging out ahead for gaming, and Ryzen the same for editing, based on the core count and such being equal.
With gaming generally being more GPU based, I would assume that any multiuse PC for working and gaming, as long as it has a good GPU, would probably be better off ryzen.
But, if you are set on intel then this

More cores but no hyperthreading (intel 8c vs previous Ryzen 6c/12t) and taking off the PSU/SSD. The slight upgrade over the other build is a mobo with 2 m.2 slots, although none specifically for wifi.
You may be able to save even more by going with a 2nd hand gtx 1080 instead of the 2060. performance is within 5% of each other, you will lose performance/ability of raytracing but if you want maybe $100 more in your pocket after making this pc, it might be worth it.
PS; I do really recommend atleast trying a build before thinking its too hard or dangerous or whatever. I am simplifying just a tiny bit, but if you got a set of mini screwdrivers and general DIY skills, you are basically copying the setup in your pc right now. same chunky power plug for the mobo, same plug for CPU, probably even same power plug for GPU.
