Hi. I got the below part list for a new build from the cgdirector pc binder. I am looking to build a pc for video editing. My budget is 3500$ US. I will also do photo editing, writing, and surfing on the computer. Can anyone give any advice if this build is good and if any changes are needed? Thank you for your help.

I'd go with a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU along with an MSI X570 Unify motherboard for your workloads. What programs do you use? Many applications have better support for Nvidia GPUs, so might have to swap that out as well. Everything else looks solid to me :)
