First Build PC! Any help appreciated!!

Taemero

Budget (including currency): $1500

Country:  US of A

Games or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, 4K video editing, Fortnite, Among Us

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This pc is for a friend. They currently game on a dell xps 15 2019. They have an lg 27 in 1440p w/ 144-fps, but can only drive75 FPS due to HDMI. I know the graphics card will be able to Keep up with the monitor but Would this pc be able to handle 4k editing? And should we wait for reviews to come out on the amd graphics cards? Also I know some money is going to RGB, but it’s necessary....for frames of course. 
Thanks!

Build looks ok. Will run most of the games just fine. 

But you have chosen overpriced components when you can spend quite less for similar performance.

Also rx6800 is released for $579, so how in the Neptune's moon are you getting it for $499??

 

See, this build looks much more balanced...

Thanks for the advice! Sorry I meant to choose the RTX 3070 because it looks like that graphics card is better for overall tasks and not just gaming.
