Assuming that the standard changes in our lifetime: by the time the "future" requires a connector that ISN'T a 24-pin motherboard cable the semi vs fully modular thing won't matter.  It's not like Corsair will give you a new modular cable to plug into a PSU from today's market and magically make it work on the super-new 50-pin motherboard of the "future".
 
If you were referring to extra sata power cables those are a given on both semi and fully modular units, so that has no bearing here either.

You gave me no budget. Hows this?
This should get you 50-60fps (more if you oc) at 1080p max settings according to this.

If all you'll do is game, grab the 3600.

- If you're not super certain on overclocking but would still like to at some point- get a B450 Tomahawk instead. It's significantly cheaper and the VRMs on that thing are awesome
 
- I personally wouldn't buy an AIO, just cause they tend to cause problems down the line. A big air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 4 works wonders. Had a few bad experiences with them in the past, just never managed to go back
 
- Not too sure what pricing is like over there, but a 550w or 650w RMx unit will do just as fine. I'd swap it if the prices are fairly different 
 
- Case doesn't have super great airflow, but it's not horrible. If you wanted better I would get a Meshify C or another similar case with front mesh 
 
 
Here's a list I would get that's about the same, just saving money here and there with a few adjustments:

Upgrading your CPU would probably require a couple other upgrades. I would reccomend the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600. However, you would have to buy a new motherboard with an AM4 socket. Here I would reccomend the MSI B450 Tomahawk. Depending on how much memory you have and its speed, you nay have to upgrade that as well. 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz seems a good choice. 
 
Sadly, this would cost a lot, but if you can afford it, then it should be worth the upgrade.
 
Remember the to tag or quote people, otherwise they won't see your reply. 

True. But still.

Don't skimp on the power supply. Depends on what sort of videos you're editing. If you're just making 2 minute memes and deleting them after uploading then you're probably fine but if not where are you going to store all your video files? Also memory sticks don't store your videos.
 
You don't "need" 3200mhz ram but 3600mhz is recommended for the 3700x by AMD.

@spiroulis I noticed that if you add up the prices (which you specified) of the parts you specified above, you actually get 786 euros, so I thought I'd create multiple lists. Show him the Phanteks P350X as well and ask him if he'd like that case instead, it comes with RGB and tempered glass. I have assumed you are located in germany (didnt know exact location).

nah this one's fine.

Moderate overclocking can make the 3600 outperform the 3600x, they're the same chip with the only exception being the clockspeed. This is what I did when purchasing Ryzen 2 years ago The 1700, 1700x, and 1800x are all 8 core models with varying clock speeds. Was able to push my 1700 to 4ghz to make it as fast as an 1800x for a decent amount cheaper. You shouldn't have to do much to match clocks on the 3600 to the 3600x

Get a good cooler on the 3600 and you will be able to get 3600X performance with very good thermals, i don't even know why the 3600X is 50$ more then the 3600 for not much more performance, it's 3% more performance for 20% more money.

No, not at all on a $200 CPU. If it's $1500 I might pay that extra.

Silent Base 601 TG
or meshify c or define R6/S2

Sorry you're right I thought it did, but it does not. I was thinking of the H700. The Meshify C does support a 360mm though.

I'm honestly not sure what prices in the phillippines are like so pick similar parts, if you can't find the same. Feel free to change case based on preference. If you want to spend more then you could upgrade the GPU to a GTX 2060, 2060 Super or RX 5700. The 1TB HDD is optional depending on whether you need the extra space, the build already has a super fast (and great value) NVME SSD.
 
Feel free to ask about any other questions you may have.

Thanks guys! Seems like a pretty open and shut case. I was thinking exactly that, the 3600. I just didn't want to add any bias but it seems that it's the obvious choice here! Thanks fellas!

I agree, the Ryzen 5 3600 is a great CPU for this price range, and then you can use the remaining $100 for other things like possibly a better GPU or faster memory if he is not into memory overclocking.

I agree, pop a 3600 for $199 on it and off he goes.  

No you won't.
 
Edit: Totally didn't see it was a 2 question. Though my answer applies to both questions. With the airport you can check anything in a bag. I've brought plenty of computer parts with me when I travel. Just put them in my checked luggage and on my way.

If you're looking to keep the same computer for a long time, then you have some things to think about.  If you're not interested in upgradin for quite sometime, along w/wanting massively good performance now, then the latest & greatest is usually what you're goin to want.  High FPS and/or high resolution w/high graphical settings are obviously demanding, so you're goin to need somethin that can keep up in more than one aspect.

Processor:  i9-9900k is quite high in price, but it's the best current raw gaming processor out as of right now, but you also have to get a decent aftermarket cooler for stock speeds or water cooling for high to extreme overclocking; if it's an interest of yours at all.  I have seen recommendations for the i7-9700k for overall performance to cost-ratio, but it has issues w/non-hyperthreading, which might be an issue in the future due to Ryzen doin so well w/their processors.  Since they're pushin hyperthreadin so much, it'll likely become more of the standard for games as time goes on.  Noctua, Cooler Master and Be Quiet make great air coolers, while NZXT and Corsair make nice liquid coolers.
 
An alternative could be the Ryzen 7 3700X is nice for its price range and is newer, while also only bein in its infant stages, so its current nice performance will only get better in time w/firmware updates.  You can also purchase a cheaper motherbard (X470) and just update the BIOS, unless you want the newer X570 features w/PCIe 4.0 and such.  If you don't have a first or second gen. Ryzen, then you can purchase one w/the USB BIOS Flashback to update the BIOS, then install your processor and use it from there.  They're still havin issues due to their infancy stages/early adopters, so it's somethin to think about if you want immediate performance w/out any issues.
 
Graphics Card:  I wouldn't recommend AMD for graphics cards for many reasons for non-low budget builds.  $2,500 is a great high-end budget, so there's no point in worryin about anything less than a RTX 2070 Super or RTX 2080 Super, which you were already lookin at.  AMD is great for a RX 570 4gb at $110, but once you get above that, then you're encroachin on NVIDIA equivalents, which're better in power consumption, heat, performance and benchmarks.  I wouldn't jump on a RTX 2080 Super the second it comes out, until benchmarks come out and people start to report the problems to make an informed decision.
 
I'm buildin a 4k computer for my friend in October and he's gettin a RTX 2080 Super after all of those issues come to light and are possibly addressed by then.  These're all suggestions I'll give him w/out over-explanin too much, since he's not tech savvy.
 
RAM: 16gb 3200 MHz is good as of now, but if you're lookin to not upgrade for quite sometime, then you can just get 32gb and be far more future resistant.  I built a computer in 2014 w/8gb of RAM and by 2018 when I made this current one, the low standard was 16gb.  It's more than enough for now, but games/programs are becomin more demandin as time goes on, especially at higher resolutions and graphical settings.  Some kits are cheaper at 3600 MHz, likely due to 3200 MHz bein the gamin standard, so the higher frequency can actually be cheaper.  Might as well pick it up, since it won't hurt and might be useful down the road for the same price or less.  There's generally drastic drop-off/diminishin return on RAM frequency above 3200 MHz for gaming, but it's not a big deal if it's the same price/cheaper.
 
Motherboard:  I prefer ASUS motherboards or Aorus, if you aren't into ASUS; but that's just personal preference.  They have great software on their website and you can migrate your info for free w/their software download (if needed).  I would go w/the ASUS Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 board.
 
Power Supply:  A good EVGA 650-750w is preferred, which'll be more than enough w/headroom.  I go w/750w just for peace of mind, but it's still quite a bit overkill for what I and most people do, while only costin a little bit more.  If you're an overclocker, then it'll be nice to have the extra power, if desired.
 
Case:  I prefer high airflow, so I would go w/somethin like Cooler Master MasterCase H500P Mesh or Fractal Design Meshify C TG.  Which ever case you decide to purchase, 140mm fans are better for airflow, power consumption (unnecessary, but an added bonus) and noise level, since they push about 30-33% more air due to their size, which means they don't need to spin as fast to do as much as a 120mm fan.  Your computer at this price point is goin to be an absolute powerhouse, so airflow and cooling are obviously essential.
 
Other Items:  You can also get other items, such as an external hard drive (recommended), back-up battery (UPS: Uninterruptible Power Source) which're great for playin durin a storm and/or updatin your BIOS to not brick it in case of a power surge/outage, Graphics Card Bracket to stop/slowdown graphics card sag and possibly breakin your PCIe slot in time (upHere is nice on Amazon at $10ish) and outside magnetic dust covers to lower the amount of dust flow into the computer (if you don't get a mesh version) to just take off and rinse/shake the dust off of the computer vents.  You can also get a small stand for the computer itself to keep if off of carpet/rug, if you have one, to assist w/airflow underneath of the case.  An external CD drive that hooks up via USB 3.0 or USB-C is also an option for the rarity you'll need it, but it'll be there when/if the time comes.
 
If you have any other questions or want to hone in more on certain aspect just let me know - I'll assist in anyway I can.

I agree and disagree, on the one hand its nice to have all problems separated into the type of problem/hardware, but on the other hand it does make sense to have them all in the same place. Double edged sword really.

You have the edge in IPC and GPU still. His CPU is from 2010, famous CPUs at the time are the X5650, W3680, i7 980, i5 650 and i3 530.

I mean teeeechnicallyy....
