Solid Video Editing / Average Gaming PC

Budget (including currency): $2,500 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video Editing: Premiere Pro, After Effects  - Gaming: Rocket League, Call of Duty, OBS, Elgato 

Other details: Upgrading from a 2017 Macbook Pro and the OG PS4 so anything is a step up for me lol. I edit 4k video content and create graphics and graphic animations for my job. I'd love to bring my gaming over to PC and play more games than I have on my PS4. I'm interested in buying in the next several months but there is no hard date. I don't have a keyboard or mouse. I currently have a HP Pavilion 32 QHD monitor that I use mainly for the sake of screen real-estate so I'm not opposed to selling this and getting something that would work better for gaming because it only has a 60 Hz refresh rate.
