I selected the video editing as directed, price limit 2000, I'm in the U.S and want to upgrade in the future, would this be good for gaming?

I'm new to this and would like something to start but I am willing to spend some money on good parts and want to learn as much as possible so ill take any advice

Yes I'd say that's a solid build for gaming. The thing is you could probably optimize that setup even more. E.g. Get a 5xxx Series Ryzen CPU and a 3xxx series Nvidia RTX GPU. If you can find e.g. a 3060Ti (399$) and a 5800X (499$) in stock you'd have higher performance and would even save a buck or two. The 5800X does "only" have 8 cores, but for gaming the higher clocks are more important.

Could you actually recommend me smaller 1TB SSD storage? I don't need THAT MUCH storage and want to make sure it's compatible with the rest of the setup.
