Others will comment on main parts but for editing and to get a decent workflow and performance you will want to rethink your drive layout, something like the below is what i went with, personal preference of course but it woks for me:

1: System (Samsung 980 Pro 512GB M.2, fast as possible)
2: Project Databases and Working Drive (1TB Minimum M.2, a half decent fast drive)
3: Exports/Imports (1TB Minimum M.2 if possible, if not a good SSD, can be same as 2: but up to 2TB if so)
4: Cache Drive (Cheap 256GB SSD, can be same drive as 2)
5: Digital Copies for Archive (2TB Minimum HDD or off PC NAS)

I'm having trouble with size of components notably the 4080 GPU and the Corsair H100X Liquid Cooling system. No case seems to be able to fit them both and I can't compromise on liquid cooling or GPU choice. Any advice? The build link is below.
