Help me build a video editing (gaming) PC for around $2000

Budget (including currency): $2000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere and gaming

Other details: Finally looking to build a nice PC after a few years and I have no idea where to start anymore. No idea whats compatible, what to stay away from and what I should get so that I don't end up with a bottle neck that could of been avoided.

I will mostly be doing video editing and some occasional gaming with my son. I would like to go with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900 but from there I do not know. I loved the live build they did the other day but some things can be moved around. I don't need the case and I could probably keep SATA or regular SSD instead of moving to the gen 4 SSD.

I also love the overall white build, I'd love to stick with that aesthetic. Not a deal breaker if not. 
I'd love a higher end video card but I don't know that I need the $1200 one they showed. 2070 or 2080? 

 

When it comes to motherboards I have no clue what to look for anymore. What will be the best one for the Ryzen 9? What do I need it to have? X570?

 

I was looking at this case.

For Premier, Make sure to get a GPU with the turing Nvenc encoder at the very least.

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

It is a new feature that has just been released, so a 1650 super or above.

Is the x570 necessary? I know they're nice but what am I giving up if I go lower?

If you get a said gpu with Turing nvenc, there’s no point. Unless you get a gen4 ssd
