PC for programming and video editing

[AncientPistol]

Budget (including currency): USD 900-1000 (without GPU)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming, video editing

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

 

I am planning to build a new PC for programming and some occasional video editing, blender and CAD work. I want the PC to be silent, and reasonably small. Because of the current GPU situation I am thinking of buying a processor with iGPU and then purchase an RTX 3060 later for gaming and accelerating some of my workflows. After buying the GPU I will mostly be playing FPS games and some AAA games at 1440p medium/high settings.

 

Most important thing for me is silent operation and second most important is small size. Don't care about looks/RGB, in fact I would prefer non-RGB wherever available. I want to keep the build under $1000 excluding the GPU. So far I am thinking of this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2vtZLs

 

Would it make sense to go for last gen products if I can save some money and the performance difference is not too big? Also I don't know much about the Scythe CPU cooler or how quiet it is, but I didn't see many options in pc part picker.

Mostly Python programming like web apps etc. Video editing, Blender and CAD are for learning/fun so they don't have a definite domain. Basically I need 32 GB RAM and would benefit from more cores/threads on my CPU but I don't do professional work on it. For my studies I use my University's machines but I'm not allowed to do personal work/gaming on them.

I would like something smaller if possible, otherwise I won't be able to keep it on my desk, and I don't want to keep it on the floor.
