New build for video editing, motion graphics.

[Midascott]

Hello everyone. I want to build a PC for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Blender, Unreal Engine. Since there wasn't an option for all of them, I copied the video editing build:
Budget $3000.00
CGDirector.com Parts List: https://www.cgdirector.com/pc-builder/?=6O4I8

CPU: Intel Core i9 13900K 3.0GHz 24-Core Processor ($556.99)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 ($89.90)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 Aero D ATX LGA1700 ($282.81)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 10GB - EVGA FTW3 ($809.99)
Memory: 64GB (2x32GB) G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 ($209.99)
Storage SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 8TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($330.34)
Storage PCIe-SSD: WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive ($129.99)
Storage HDD: Seagate IronWolf 8TB, 3.5" ($177.99)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx Series Platinum RM850x 850W Power Supply ($144.99)
Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2 Titanium Big Tower Case ($199.99)
Total: $2932.98

The only difference between this build and the motion graphics build is this has more storage and the other build has the RTX 4080 graphics card. What's the best (or better) build for my needs?

Just wanted to add, I'm a Filmmaker and I want to do my own vfx, I have moderate experience, but my current PC is unfortunately, not up to the task any more.

I'd go with the RTX 4080 if you're doing Blender, Unreal, etc.
That's a decent build, just swap out that CPU cooler for a good 360mm AIO liquid cooler. The Core i9 13900K can be pretty tough to tame
