Need help finalizing my build

I got a mavic mini that shoots in 2.7K recently so I would like to build a PC for some casual/amateur video editing when I travel, and edit videos for memories sake. I also game a lot, and I would like to build a PC that could tackle graphically intense games at 80+ fps. Right now, I play a lot of online multiplayer games like fortnite, league, csgo, but I would like to expand into more graphically intensive games down the road. But the thing is, I'm not sure if I built a PC to do so. I have a 1080p 144hz monitor. I'm trying to go for a white-ish build that looks aesthetically pleasing.

This is what I came up with my friend. I don't know if there are any areas where it can improve on. Or places that I can cut prices on. I'd like to keep it under $2000 USD, but of course, going cheaper while keeping the same performance or unnoticeable difference is preferred! Also, on PCPartPicker, it said the motherboard might need a BIOS update. I don't know how to do that, so are there any other motherboards that don't need one that I can plug in instead of the one I have already? Or is it easy to do BIOS updates? This is my first PC build, so I'm a little nervous with choosing parts and building it.

G3 is a low end psu. I would change EVGA G3 psu to EVGA G1+ or EVGA G2 psu or something better.

 

You can save a lot of $$$ by going with RX 5700XT.

 

Corsair LL120 rgb fans and all Corsair rgb fans require proprietary Corsair rgb hub and software to control rgb. What this means you cannot use 3rd party software and hardware on Corsair rgb fans. Commando Pro is optional if you want to control fan speeds through software instead BIOS. 

 

Purchase Corsair LL120 triple packs kit. It comes with Corsair Lighting Node Pro that can control rgb for 6 Corsair rgb fans. The Lighting Node Pro cost $52ish on Amazon US if you purchase seperately.

So if I buy the triple pack, I can control the color and speed of the fans?

I'd get:

1.) One 250gb NVMe for current game and media editing purposes. 

2.) One 250gb Sata/SSD for OS and applications. 

3.) One 2tb 5.4k HDD for cold storage of your media, unused games and backups. 

 

More drives the less IOPS contention...of course I think like an old school data center geek.

Triple pack LL120 kit comes with Lighting Node Pro to control rgb only. If you want to use Corsair ICUE to control fan speed then you will need Corsair Commando Pro hub that you can purchase separately or purchase Corsair rgb cases.

Noctua D5 and Scythe Ninja 5 about the best out there and the first is around 80 bucks and the 2nd around 60.
